Supporting internal islands - CPatrick - 09-22-2019
I'm not able to place supports on internal model islands that have been hollowed. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

I don't have an answer for ChituBox but you could try MeshMixer. I'm pretty sure you can add individual supports in that program.

I had issues trying to manually add supports to internal islands in Meshmixer, also, so I reopened my Chitubox project and was able to easily add internal supports to my model. Maybe I had performed too many edits to the supports I added in the previous session, and Chitubox had enough of my nonsense. I think I'm good to go, and I'm just waiting for the current job to come off the printer.

If you pull up the bottom slider to expose the bottom of the model you can add supports internally.
