C2 User Manual, Release 1.0.0
Z distance determines the space between the top and bottom of the model and the support structure.
Top distance determines the distance between the top of the support structure and the bottom surface of
the overhang. Likewise, the bottom distance determines the distance between the bottom of the support
structure and the top area of the model. This value should always be small, but depending on the model,
might need to be tweaked higher and lower. A smaller value will result in a cleaner surface finish of the
model, but will be harder to remove from the model. A higher value will be easier to remove, but will
result in a more rough surface finish on the model.
8. Horizontal expansion
Horizontal expansion determines how much the support structure will be printed beyond the model in the
x and y direction. A higher value will result in a stronger support structure, but small areas where there
are support structure may be harder to remove. A lower value will result in less support structure, which
may be hard to remove on areas where there is a lot of support needed to remove after the print is finished.
9. Enable support roof
If a support roof is enabled, the support structure will create a solid layer of plastic at the top of the support
structure. When using a support roof, the model will come out with a very clean surface finish, but may
be very hard to remove compared to not using a support roof.
Platform Adhesion
1. Brim
Using a brim adds a single layer around your object, fused to the outline of your model to improve
adhesion to the bed and prevent warping. A brim is very useful for models that have very small surface
area as the first layer as the brim prevents those small surfaces from curling up.
