2.15. SUPPORT TAB SETTINGS
override the automatic calculation, and specify support line distance if you
prefer.
Enable Support Brim
Support brim will place a solid layer underneath your support, greatly
increasing adhesion during the print. This is recommended when using
sparse or custom inll. By adjusting Support Brim Width or Support
Brim Line Count you can adjust how much brim is placed.
Support Infill Line Direction
Depending on model geometry, it may be benecial to specify an inll line
direction to ensure a well supported object, and reduce support material.
After dening a support direction, it is recommended to check layer view
before printing to ensure proper placement.
Support Distances
There are several support options that specify how far away your support
material is kept from your object. These settings will aect eciency
of support, as well as ease of removal. It is important to nd the right
combination for your specic needs.
• Support Z distance denes the gap between your support structure
and your model in the Z direction. A good starting point is one
layer thickness for same material support, and 0 for soluble and/or
breakaway support material. You can also specify a separate gap for
the top and bottom of the support material.
• Support X/Y distance will determine the distance between the
support material and your object in the X/Y plane.
• Support distance priority will determine which support distance
overrides the other. If clean undersides for the support surface are the
most important factor, have Z override X/Y. If it is more important
to have clean vertical lines next to support, have X/Y override Z.
