Afinia H800+ 3D Printer User’s Manual
28
Area
This setting specifies the surface area above which support
material is printed. Choose 5 mm
2
and there will be no support
if the overhanging area is less than 5mm
2
.
Lower values in this setting can save time and filament, but
the stability of the part during printing can be reduced.
Two special options for the Support Area setting are also available. The Only Base setting will use
a minimum of support material. In many cases, no support material other than that needed to
support the base of the model will be used. The 0 mm
2
setting will create support material when
the Angle setting is met no matter how small the surface area.
Printer Name (PC Only)
Enter in a name for your printer. This makes it easier to identify when you have more than one
Afinia 3D Printer connected to your PC.
Other Settings
Stable Support
Stable support creates support that is more solid so the model is less likely to distort. This can be
useful where tall, narrow support is needed
TIP: Setup and configuration settings except for the Nozzle Height Calibration and Platform
Leveling are stored in the software, not on the Afinia H800+ 3D Printer. If you move the printer to
another computer, repeat the calibration and setup procedures.
