line option will produce lines in along the y axis for support. The grid
will provide stronger support than the line option, but will be harder to
remove.
Overhang Angle for Support
This will determine where support material is generated. In general you
will be able to print a model with 45 to 90 degree angles in relation to the
bed without support. We recommend leaving this setting at 45.
Fill Amount
This will determine how dense your support material is printed, similar to
Infill Percentage. The higher percentage the better support, but it will be
harder to remove the support material and will use more material.
Distance X/Y
This will determine how far away from your object in the X/Y plane that
the support material is being placed.
Distance Z
This will determine how far away your support material is from your object
in the vertical direction. A smaller number here makes for better support,
but makes it harder to remove.
1.19 Black Magic
This section allows you to transform your model into a hollow shell, a single
layer thick.
Spiralize the Outer Contour
This causes your Z axis to be constantly moving upward as printing your
single outer wall shell. The results are no layer change lines, giving a much
smoother surface. This setting is typically only used for artistic objects as
they will be fragile.
