• Support Pattern: Use the drop-down menu to select one of five support patterns,
including Lines, Grid, Triangles, Zig Zag, and Concentric. The pattern designs are the
same as those of the infill patterns of the same name.
o Lines support is easier to remove and is used on models that require more support.
o Grid support is used on small models, which need fewer supports.
o Zig Zag support is used for models that are particularly difficult to remove. It is
stronger than Lines support and is better than Grid support.
• Overhang angle: The overhang angle is the angle between the support and the surface of
the model. Larger settings make the supports easier to remove, while smaller settings
provide better support. The default angle is 60 degrees.
• Support infill density (%): Determines the infill density for supports. The higher the
density, the stronger the supports.
• Support Top Gap (mm): The distance between the top of the support and the model
surface. The smaller the distance, the more effective the support, but is more difficult to
remove from the model surface, resulting in residual material on the model surface. The
larger the distance, the less effective the support, but is easier to remove from the model
surface, resulting in a smoother surface.
• Support Bottom Gap (mm): The distance between the bottom of the support and the
model surface. The effects of this parameter are the same as the effects of the Support
Top Gap (mm) parameter.
• Distance X/Y (mm): The distance between the support and the model surface in the
horizontal plane. The effects of this parameter are the same as the effects of the Support
Top Gap (mm) parameter.
• Enable Support: Check this box to use supports.
