I just wanted to comment to mention that at least currently, Dikale is not selling the PLA filament that is in this video. Clicking the link will take you to a PLA+ filament, which is significantly stronger and more difficult to remove supports. I made the mistake and I'm trying to adjust settings now to try and improve print quality. Would you happen to have any advice as far as PLA+ or other sturdier filaments go? Thanks for he help and great video!

You're welcome my friend, cheers!

Thank you. I’ve just started printing my minis for my table top game. I’m still learning Cura and you nailed what I’m doing with supports. I can’t wait to implement what I’ve learn from this video! Thank you so much!

I have 3D printer for more than a year. From day one, I was watching and following your instructions. During last year I have printed tons of minis and they all look great thanks to your instructions and all the little tricks you showed to us. To show my appreciation, I just got late pledge for The Lost Adventures. You are gift to the community. Thank you Danny.

I've been tinkering and honing in on settings I like through experimentation for years, but you've just leapfrogged over all of that fumbling and it just works now. You've earned my sub!

This has been incredibly helpful! As someone who is a 3D printing novice, this was exactly the type of video I needed to make my prints more successful. Thanks!

I've been looking for someone with the advanced settings actually written out for the longest time, thank you so much!!

Thank you for these videos. My perfect profile I spent a couple months refining was completely lost in the 4.7 update. You're my savior right now.

You are a lifesaver! I was able to successfully print my first miniature with clean details and no overhang issues. Thank you so much!

Dude, thanks again for all the effort you put into these videos. I will be coming back to this video, time and time again.

Thanks! Your videos keep getting better, I appreciate all the extra insight you have been adding lately. Keep up the great work.

That video is AWESOME. Thank you for this in depth view on supports. Had a hard time printing a HF mini this week and I guess this will help me a lot!

I hope it does! Thanks for your kind words. Let me know how it goes!

My man! I was having the worst anxiety about printing because I couldn't get my support settings right and it was a nightmare to remove the supports post print: ruining my prints and taking forever. After watching this video, using these settings, and now understanding more what was going wrong, I was able to print a curvy, spiky dragon tail and it looks magnificent! I've just been staring at it in awe. Thanks so much for putting your content up! Much love, brother!

that was just one of the most useful 3D printing videos ever, thanks and keep updating it in this format (would be nice to see it about other slicers too in case you use any other)

If anyone else is wondering why they can't lift their models off of the buildplate like at 9:05, it's in Cura's preferences > general, "automatically drop models to the buildplate". Turn that one off. I had the same problems as Danny, and I was looking for a solution. This is probably it!

i was having trouble with supports being hard to remove. i followed settings from this video and they worked great! thanks so much for this video!

I did a google search for printing supports in Cura from the last month, and this video was right at the top. While I didn't put it in my search, it was for printing D&D minis, so this video was perfect. Great explanations! Instant subscribe.

Finally a somewhat “in-depth” support guide and explanation! I have looked for UP TO DATE support video that explain the current Cura options for a while since my experiences have been inconsistent when properly generating supports. It would be nice if you did a video about your best tree support settings even though you stated you hardly use them. I wish Cura allowed for custom supports like mesh mixer when using tree supports. Thanks again for the info!

Awesome video man! Just your channel! Loving the content! Printing up some minis right now and def will be checking out some of your videos!

Thanks for visiting my channel, Jessy. Never thought I'd see the day I'd get a comment from ya, feeling pretty honored right now. You're channel is my go-to prop channel, brother. Big hug, man!

this is one of my favorite videos on the internet. seriously, thank you

Danny, this was a great help to me! I've be struggling to print minis with good supports that didn't fail and weren't a pain to remove/clean-up. Thanks!

Liked for the rotation trick to get those supports in the right place, and subbed for the positive and friendly vibes. Seriously great vid keep it up.

Great video Danny! Super informative & chill. Now I just need to get a printer...

I changed how I do supports based on that post too. It's been a game changer for my mini printing. Thanks for the video, great job!

One of the best video about support that I've ever seen...hats off!

Danny, Thank you sooo much for this information. I'm new to 3D printing and have shied away from printing many miniatures because of the difficulty I was having removing the supports. I'd say more but I must go print some minis and try out these settings!

I just wanted to say thank you I just tried the setting and they worked wonderfully

This video is really helpful and informative and fills me with more confidence for the next time I have to print with supports, thank you so much!!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. After adjusting my Cura settings I was finally able to print a miniature and not have issues removing the supports.

Just wow! I thought my support settings where pretty good, but the combination of Line Pattern with Roof/Floor is amazing. Allways had problems with support placement-> everywhere, now i can get it off clean. And the Retraction setting for support, i just never noticed. Very helpful, thx.

Did my first print today with your suggestions. It was just a simple wing but it came out so nice and the supports just basically fell off. Thanks so much for everything you do for the community.

Danny, I really dig your channel, and I'm thrilled that it is growing. You should have tons of subscribers.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos, my printer is on the way , and I can't wait! I know I will be going over and over your videos to help me print.

Dude amazing! My friends and family got me a ender 3 v2 for my Bday since I got back into dming for D&D and been struggling with settings. This video has helped me immensely since I got back into it, thank you 🙏

Thank you very much for your continuous effort, I really appreciate all the work you do, here is one more happy child! Thank you!

Jesus Christ! What is this magic? These settings have increased my print quality by miles, and make it so much easier to remove the far-less support. Much appreciated dude.

Best video on supports I've seen to date! Well done.

Thanks for sharing your settings! I printed my very first dragon and the overhangs were perfect!

Man, thank you so much for this. This changed my mini printing life! Supports were killing my minis before this! Definite Subscribe, gonna have to watch the rest of your videos!

yet another great video , thank you for the work you do for the community

The community thanks you! This really is great work!

Thank you!!!! These settings have helped me (finally!)successfully print miniatures!

Just found your channel. I bought an ender3 and i am struggling with the minis so far. I am goona try out your settings and all of your advices ! Thank you so much :)

Finaly a detailed (old but still perfect -> because settings of Cura changed a little bit) video! Thanks for all!

Hi everyone! Sorry about the rough voice - was sick at the time of recording. I'm looking forward to hearing how these settings work from you all. Were they better? Worse? The Same?

Danny, for Tree Supports to really work, you need to put Support Density (under Supports) to 0 and then disable Supports altogether, then enable Tree Supports. Thsi way, TS will print only a one-line-thick shell that's easy to remove. Do try this out, you should see the effect in Layer View immediately!

The Support Brim feature was a real gamechanger for me - it works with traditional supports as well as with tree Supports. I got the advice to set Maximum Resolution to 0.005mm, though I'm not sure what it really does. Ah, and I increased Tree Support Branch Distance to 0.2mm because otherwise the supports were much closer to the model, making them a pain to remove. You also might want to increase Tree Support Branch Angle to some 50°, because lower values meant for me that Cura started branches out of thin air, making them fail during print. But that's about it. Looking forward to hear from your results! :-)

I printed the Shadow Dragon head and tail and had a lot support material sticking to the model. I just modified my profile with your settings in this video and am reprinting the head. I'll let you know how it turns out. The extra material left on the tail is on the bottom so I'm not real worried about it. This is just for table-top quality fun. Many thanks for your videos - explaining the WHY is as important as telling the WHAT. You do a great job of that. Between you and Tom(?) @ Fat Dragon sharing knowledge, I'm printing great minis.

I got a glass plate for my ender 3 and I love it because it sticks so well that I don't need rafts nearly as much, nor do I need to use glue sticks anymore. You have great tips thank you so much!

I don't print minis at all but this was a fantastic video for just learning more about supports in general. These settings apply to even functional prints that need support. Thanks!

Awesome Video...Your channel is one of the reasons I got into 3d printing at all!

Thank you for this very informative and confidence inspiring video. increased my print quality by a large margin. keep up the good work and keep sharing your experience

You've been a huge help for me. I just got an Ender 3 for printing minis. Thank you!

Thank you for your great work, and for sharing with us. This is an inspiration, you rock!

So timely. Thank you. Just what I needed.

great summary and breakdown! Cura has defiantly come a long way in support options.

Thank you so much! I have been having so much trouble with supports. I couldn't remove them without tearing my goblin archer's bow off, or my dire wolf's legs off. (He is now Snickers the Legless Wolf.) These settings actually made it possible to get functioning minis. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey man, you just earned my subscribe. SUCH A HELPFUL VIDEO! Thank you so much!

Thanks Danny - great video with lots of tips to test!

thank you!!! Supports are the hardest thing i have run into along with retraction

These settings are fantastic !!! Thank you very much for sharing them =)

Very informative and helpful video, thank you very much.

Day two of owning an Ender 3 pro and half of what you said I didn't understand but I will come back and watch again to test out these settings. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

Dikale PLA is great! It was one of the first PLAs that I tried and it's always worked great for me. I've had way less issue with Dikale than I have with less "budget" PLA.

Dude.... this is such an amazing video. Thank you so much

Thanks for sharing! I will try. Normally I use Meshmixer overhangs, a sort of tree supports but minimizing the contact surface points and material. Very easy to remove.

I'm printing some miniatures for using with Gloomhaven. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to look ok. Printing with the standard support was impossible to get out of the miniature. Thanks to your presets I was able to print. Going to watch the video later to understand even more about the how and what, but I'm glad I could just get it printing now!

Just got my printer. Getting ready to set it up for Christmas and this video is great. Thanks!

Are you using the newest ultimakerCura? Seen some settings in there not covered in the video, did you just leave them default?

Thanks for this! I have been using the old Siepie profile for a couple months now. One thing that annoyed me was the clicky sound of the nozzle dragging across supports. Every now and then that would lead to support snapping. I've just printed out my first mini with these settings and I didn't hear any of that clicking at all. The resulting quality is great and the time spent on support removal makes me want to print out entire armies now.

Thanks so much for this video, I wondered how these minis were printed, ✌🤙

This is such an underrated youtube channel. Thanks for putting these out!

Just got my first FDM printer, still very relevant information, thanks.

Thanks for this, I didn't know some of this settings were there. I usually do not use cura's supports for my printing. I like to bring my stl into MatterControl by MatterHackers and use the supports there. I get much better control and can delete individual sections and thereby have variable support density. Now that cura let's you do custom supports I have been starting to do some more playing but I really like watching your videos, I nearly always learn something new or at least have something I suspected confirmed, keep up the great work

thank you, I it took a awhile but now I can spend less time tearing apart my builds. Just a little more on thinking about painting them :)

This channel is amazing!!!

Let me clarify what I mean by this. - I have meshmixer setup so it will export an STL to Cura when I press Print - I import the model in meshmixer - Go to analysis -> orientation - have all my settings cranked up to 100 - overhang angle here is [90 -

Thank you very much dude. Very helpful video.
