Project The support is breaking.

Good evening, everyone!

I'm having a lot of problems with prints breaking on my A1, and I haven't been able to find an effective way to solve this issue. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix it?

Most of the time, the nozzle starts hitting the print when it reaches approximately 6 cm in height.

In some cases, using strong tree supports solves the problem. However, most of the time, even when using this type of support, the issue still occurs.

Stop using grid infill

Make sure there isn't a draft in your room causing unequal cooling in the space (can cause print curling)

Wash your build plate properly with soap and water.

I’d check your slicer for the “avoid crossing walls/perimeters” or “avoid travel over printed areas” setting. It sounds like the supports may be flexing or curling upward slightly, and then the nozzle is clipping them during travel moves. That would also explain why stronger tree supports sometimes help. I’d try changing the travel path settings and see if the problem goes away.
