Anyone have any solutions for this issue? You'd think it would just bridge over the entire hole, don't know why it's doing this. We're at 195mm height here and I'd rather not run a support the entire height of the model just for this little nub.

Using version 2.6.1

Edit: Model in question https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5551428. Not my own, but getting some fun things printed for the Spooky season

This is the answer with anything based on slic3r in my experience.

Is this your model @op? If yes, you can add two rectangles to either side of the hole that are 0.25mm or so in height to serve as a built in bridge and trick the slicer.

Not my model (Added source to my post). That was a good idea, though. What I ended up doing (and can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. Been a long day...) is adding a 0.2mm disk right at the problem height and it's looking good!

I got the idea while building my Voron - the designers bake a lot of tricks like this into their files. I've adopted a lot of them to improve printability and am happy to share the knowledge!
