1.18. SUPPORT
1.18 Support
You dene how your support material is generated here. You must have
some form of support turned on in the basic settings in order for these
settings to have an eect.
Structure Type
You can choose between a Grid or a Line pattern for your support material.
The grid will be a checkerboard pattern in the X and Y direction. The
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 degrees.
Fill Amount
This will determine how dense your support material is printed, similar to
Inll Percentage. The higher percentage, the better support, but it will
be harder to remove the support material, will use more material, and will
lead to a larger total printing time.
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.
