how

pls

It does not bridge. I need it to bridge at least an inch.

Printing 15mm/sec @ 0.5mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers, 250C, 80C steel bed with hairspray, 1.38 extrusion multiplier. I cannot find any combination of bridging multiplier and speed that causes the threads to not break off or sag straight down.

Try increasing these:

Bridging Extrusion Multiplier: 150%
Extra inflation distance: 1.0 mm
Bridging Speed Multiplier: 150%

And lower the unsupported area threshold to 2 mm.

Might not work, but those a similar to what i experimented with in PETG, and the ninja has got to be worse than that.

Right now I'm printing bridging torture tests ... I can do 20mm "passably", but fails pretty hardcore on 30mm.
