Support roof density 3d print.

And the support density to about 75. Low density supports are more likely to respond to vibrations while printing but they reduce filament cost print time and difficulty of support removal. Also whilst line supports on very small prints may sometimes fail to print properly the roof itself rarely does. Using small nozzles make a huge difference in how easy it is to remove support.

Support density this defines the density of support structures. Best support settings for 3d printing. Cura has a neat little option to help you save on print time and material. For those really tall and dense supports cura will 3d print supports at a lower density on the bottom and higher density up near the model where you actually need it.

This setting controls the number of times to cut support density in half from the top down. A 0 4mm nozzle at 0 1mm layers has a similar print time of a 0 25mm nozzle at 0 1mm layers if there are no big flat surfaces. 20 support density is a great place to start but adjust this value according to the needs of your model. To begin let s look at a common model that can help identify what types of overhang angles your printer can support.

A higher value will lead to stronger support but these will be more difficult to remove and take more time to print. But haven t tried all the new types yet. I normally use support grid as it comes off in one piece. If you try to print this part on your machine you will probably notice that the 60 70 degree sections will not be as smooth as you would like.

The massive overhang test by thingster can help identify what types of angles your printer can smoothly produce. 15 30 and 45. The z distance setting can help make the 3d printing support structures easier to remove. But it is really a pain in the annoying to search for the perfect settings so the supports are easy to remove and the object not deformed by the supports.

I also slow down the support print speed a bit as it tends to print some very small features often. This model has triangle support with three different densities. The thing i like about the support roof is that it gives me something substantial enough to get hold of with my pliers and to peel the supports mostly cleanly off the print. Supports in 3d printing are essential to print objects with overhanging parts.
