1Is it possible to set up prints for jobs while running the printer?
I added some models I had already supported. When generating supports for an unsupported print in the same window, the program automatically set the pre supported objects up for new supports. Is there a way to only add to one model in the window or do I need to do one or the other?

No, but we plan to enable that in the future. You can setup jobs on your workstation though.

The video shows you how to do that. In the support mode you can right click on the models you don't want supported and unselect 'generate supports' and then click on the auto support button. Those models will be ignored.

Thank you. I stopped the video before getting to thtat point. I'm having issues with the model growing now. The auto generated supports are .3mm at the contact point. Is that sufficient? I had upped them to .4 but the build failed after only a few layers. Also, when I was using CW I had the exposure set to 3000ms which seemed to be working. Is this something I should adjust with Contour? I am trying to get a job done today for casting. Need to finish it before Sunday. Thanks for the assistance.
