2.5. EXPERT MODE
• Slow down if layer print time is below t seconds - Slows
down the print if the layer will be completed within the given number
of seconds.
• Min print speed - A lower limit on how slowly a layer can be printed.
Support Material
Generally, most 3D models will print with overhanging parts by up to a
certain degree. The angle is determined by several factors, most notably
layer height and extrusion width, and is usually around 45°. For models
with larger overhangs a support structure may have to be printed below it.
This incurs the use of more material, longer print times, and post printing
clean-up.

The first thing to do is activate the support material option by checking
the Generate support material box. Providing a value of zero to the
Overhang threshold parameter tells Slic3r to detect places to provide
