2.15. SUPPORT TAB SETTINGS
Support Options
After enabling support, you will notice a plethora of new settings that can
be adjusted depending on the specic application.
• Support wall line count will add walls to the outside of your
support structure. This will increase support strength, but require
more print time and material.
• Support Extruder will dene which extruder to use for generating
support. By default, updating this setting will change all support
options to this extruder.
• Support infill extruder will print the inll of the support struc-
ture. In general, this can be left the same as support extruder.
• First layer support extruder will dene which extruder to use
for support for the rst layer only. This can be helpful if there is a
large dierence in glass transition between the two materials you are
printing.
• Support interface extruder will allow you to dene a specic
extruder for the support interface. The support interface is the
support material printed just before making contact with your object.
This can be helpful for saving expensive support material such as
soluble or break away support.
• Support placement will determine how support is generated.
Everywhere will build support everywhere, including within the
object. Touching build plate will build support material just
between the build plate and the object, ignoring interior holes of
the object. (Fig. 2.17, page 60)
