Figure 2.15: Support Types
Platform Adhesion Type
Some models have a small surface area contacting the plate. This can
create adhesion issues causing your part to pop o at some point during
the print. To x this, use either Brim or Raft. Raft is better used when a
model has small heated bed contact points and overhangs.
Brim
Brim will create a single layer of lament, contacting and surrounding your
model. This will increase the surface area of the part contacting the build
platform thereby preventing it from popping o the heated bed. Brim will
also help in situations where you are seeing corner lift. Brim settings can
be adjusted in the Expert Settings options.
Raft
Raft will generate a layer of material underneath your object. Raft was
more often used before the addition of heated plates to increase surface
area. Raft settings can be adjusted in the Expert Settings options.
