How to force a sustainement structure for pieces in air?

For the moment I’m using CuraEngine for slicing.
I’ve tried to print some pieces that goes far alone in the air, I’ve seen you can set sustainment structures in CuraEngine (I’ve set it to “lines”) but I’ve never succeeded on having lines sustaining any of my printed things…
Am I doing something wrong or forgetting something ?
Thank you for your answers !

You’ll have to modify the Overhang angle (45° is usually enough but you can try with different angle and see what happens). If your object is small you’ll need to lower the Shell thickness (to 0.3 or even 0.2) to get enough support. Anyway don’t expect miracles from the embedded support in Cura.

ok, thankyou, I’ll try that !
