Istruggling to print the rear footrest on my Bambu A1. It seems like it needs supports but when it prints there are none . Is the slicer file setup with supports?
if you find a file needs supports you can load it in a computer in Bambi studio, go to the support tab and enable supports. Tree supports work great with a z distance of .25-.28.
Also alternatively you can change the print orientation to print on its side or end so supports arnāt required. They may require a brim if reoriented.
This is not make good official advice but just from a seasoned printer. This will Not affect the strength or quality of the file print

Good suggestions! I may also try drying my PETG as that may be contributing to my problems.
Hi there,
The file I downloaded didnāt have supports configured as well for this plate. I wasnāt paying attention so it went through the whole plate.
However, despite of these two edges, the rest was really smooth, so Iāll sure keep this part! 
Cheers,

Had the same issue. I did find a way to get this to work. For whatever reason supports would not turn on for me on this one plate. Was not even able to add manual supports. I ended up saving the file as āfootrestā, deleted all plates except for the footrest plate and hit saved again. I then opened up a new project and imported the file into the plate. I first clicked on the object and then clicked the enable support box. From there, supports worked for me. I did check all settings to make sure everything imported correctly and they did. I am now able to print with no issue and it has the supports.
