I'm having problems printing the Walking MrMaker model; the opening gap supports on the left side aren't printing, so the stuff above it is unsupported and falls. I've tried setting 0 extra shells, and "unproven mesh" but they still don't appear in the G-code (at least they don't show up in the simulator). On a whim I scaled up the model but they still don't appear so I wonder if it is a geometry problem (I'm using RepG 0024).
Any ideas?

Right. I have the same problem as Dithermaster on the MrMaker model. Only two of the open area supports on the left side print and it's only after 1.5 hours do I find that once again, it's back to the configuration board.
Tried it several different ways. So, what's the mystery hand-shake on this one? Anyone???
