[support tweaking] Any ideas how to make Cura treat situations like this with a bridge instead of making turns in the air? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Thanks, I'll try the tree supports later.

The thing that's printing on the preview is the support itself, it's not the last layer since the roof of the model it'll need to support is curved, I have the "support roof" setting enabled but it doesn't come in for 4 more layers.

Model is not mine but I might think about modifying it. But as I said, this part printing & turning in the air is not a part of the model but a generated support underneath.

Probably a weird take but if it is just the support that is printing oddly like that I would just let it ride unless it's something giant that will take a long time, especially if you can keep an eye on it.

Best case scenario it recovers in a couple of layers and you have an ugly support that you throw away anyway. Worst case it curls up and you pause the print and poke it back down or clip it off. If you have to leave it unattended it's probably best to figure something out though.
