Regarding your last point, avoiding support is the best strategy, I have had so many problems with removing support I have an aversion to support material at all! One thing not to be afraid of is to design your part as mutiple parts that screw, glue, or clip together. Its tempting to try to make it print out all as one part, but sometimes you can make a nicer looking part as multiple pieces. This also means that making minor changes means you can just reprint one or two pieces rather than the whole thing, and it also opens the opportunity to make your part multi-colour if the aesthetic is important and you don't have a printer with multiple extruders.

This. Comparing my more recent projects that are designed in pieces to my older projects that are just one big object cut up using meshmixer, designing for it means you have so much more control and can often avoid support entirely

Totally. Printing a model in various parts and gluing them together can be a great way to side-step hassles with supports. Something else I found helpful and quite easy is to design my own supports instead of relying on the slicer to do it for me.

Bambu studio sets the Z distance between tree support and model to 0 (if you click yes when choosing tree support). Maybe that's why they were stuck. I'm not sure the other slicers do that.

Cura also has settings for interface layers and some small adjustments pay huge dividends (included my settings). Would be interested to see a follow-up with support interface enabled.

As a beginner to 3d printing this is was incredibly helpful. Perhaps as a part 2 you can also include information and advice on model placement and orientation to help with better print quality and support use. For instance, you mentioned the sharp downward pointing angle and how it must have support. I would assume something like that could be greatly assisted with rotating the model. Placement and orientation is definitely an area I find to be tricky at times, especially when I need t set supports.

Excellent overview man and I really love that you encourage people to create designs that don't need support when they can at the end. Its a good habit to get into especially when you start getting more and more into running production/ batches with your machines. 💪🏼

Very interesting video. Did Cura’s supports fall more in line with Prusa’s if you inverted the angle? As I’m sure you’re aware, the reference is swapped compared to Prusa Slocer. For example, 30 degrees in Prusa is 60 degrees in Cura. Love the videos. Keep up the great work!

TL;DR: "Preferences" -> "Configure Cura" -> "General" -> untick "Automatically drop models to the build plate" Really quick tip for anybody getting angry at Cura for dropping the parts to the build plate automatically (as I was before I looked at the settings): There's an option in the menu bar, "Preferences" -> "Configure Cura". It should start you out on the General tab (otherwise switch to it) and under the heading "Viewport behavior" there should be a checkbox for "Automatically drop models to the build plate". Uncheck that if you don't want the lowest part of your model to touch the build plate (i.e. hang it in midair to generate supports underneath). Extra tip: if you don't want to switch that option on and off all the time, you can manually drop the model by selecting it, using the "Move" tool (or pressing 'T' ) and setting the z value to exactly 0. Hope this helps somebody :)

Congrats on 1,000,000 subscribers! 🥳

I'm at the point where I'm exclusively using my Bambu printer and I do find their supports very easy to work with. I experimented with printing a 1:285 scale Zeta shuttle, from Rogue One, using a 0.2mm nozzle - and was able to get the supports off the less-than-a-mm-thick laser cannons without destroying them! I had to be very careful of course, but it worked. I agree that the tree supports aren't awesome, though; and if aesthetics matter you'll want to try and make the supported surface the less visible one. I think of BaSl's supports as better than PrSl's, but I suspect that's more to do with the printer itself than the slicer proper, since my experience with Prusa Slicer's supports was all on an Ender 5. So, thank you for including them in this! And while I knew what changing the overhang angle did, I'd never figured out when I'd *want* to do that, so thank you for the mini tutorial there, as well.

Designing parts that don't need support is a challenge I enjoy. Especially TPU when you can use its flexibility to create living hinges in the print, giving it some origami traits. One of my designs needed support so I made the pieces myself and put them into the design because I didn't trust the slicers to make them. It works well, the 3 support pieces easily snap off after printing, helping ensure the end users get perfect prints each time.

Just finished a print right now lol. It was the Steinmetz Bicylinder you showed a while back.

Congratulations on achieving 1M subscribers. It's amazing. Well done.

IdeaMaker you can add manual supports to specifically cradle and support sharp points like the one in your maker coin.

I've been splitting PLA models in my slicer to prevent use of supports, then using dichloromethane to weld them together. The joints are very, very strong and you need microscopic amounts of solvent so it's not a hazard.

Success with supports for quality and ease of removal relies partially on layer height of the print and the z height gap between the print and the model. There's a ton of power in Cura for playing with this and some tuning with z distance, support interface density, and even x y distance can save a ton of print time, material, and cleanup effort. It seems like you talked about tuning in Prusaslicer but didn't bother to tune the support settings in Cura causing your supports to be more difficult to remove with Cura than it needed to. There's also plugins like manual cylindrical supports that can target the areas specifically needing supports too.

I have been playing with Cura's tree supports in the alpha release. I had quite a few failures until i realised that it doesn;t cap off the supports by default. So you can end up with a tall support building up fine but because there was no top on it the thing it was meant to be supporting fails. There is the option to include a top but you need to make sure there is some infil in the supports otherwise there is nothign to build the top on.

Congrats on the 1,000,000 subs!!!

Great video and I appreciate your dive into the different slicers! I really enjoy using Bambu studio for generating tree supports. At 14:13, it shows your Top Z-distance set to 0 mm. As of course you're aware, increasing this distance even slightly will allow you to remove the support material more easily instead of directly fusing it to the support layer. 0.2mm is the default distance and allows removal. If you want the 0mm distance, a support-specific print material such as Bambu's Support W (printing with multi-filament such as Bambu's AMS) is a great option as it does not lend itself easily to weld to the printed PLA.

back when I was using ideamaker I remember that the big "selling point" was the amount of manual control you had over the print result. So I think it's fair to assume ideamaker is designed in a way that it assumes the user will place manual supports as the UI for them is pretty well made.

Nice to see someone include ideamaker. I like the approach in this slicer, although they probably need more feedback from big makers to improve what they have.

There is an option (gradual support infill steps) in Cura to makes the support more dense a few millimeters below it touches the model. It gives much better results without wasting too much material or time.

If you can use soluble support then a trick you can use to cut down the cost (soluble is very expensive) is to print your model in the base filament and only print the interface layers with soluble. This has a side benefit of speeding up your print because you are not doing head changes for every layer.

Congratulation for 1MILION Subscribers. Keep it up man.

I think it's important to know that the major thing that controls the angle of overhang that can be printed unsupported is the ratio of the layer height to the line width (nozzle size) Use a 0.8 nozzle with a 0.08 layer height, you'd be shocked now much hang-out you can get away with. I regularly choose thinner layer heights when I want to avoid using supports.

Another option I almost always change in PrusaSlicer when I need support is Style: Grid to Snug. I find this support generation to create less waste, is easier to remove, and fails less often.

Great video! Another thing that helps a lot is the "snug" setting for PrusaSlicer, it saves a lot of print time and material. (Perfect timing 2.6 alfa is released the same weekend as this video😂)

What does snug do?

Im new to printing but ive been using paint on supports with great success so far

I’m surprised no slicer is using local adaptive layer height to increase the printable overhang angle. It shouldn’t be that difficult to have it print the outer edge in two or more layers, and then the rest of the layer at ”normal” layer height. That way you can get away with really steep angles.

Impressive video as always Thanks for sharing your work with all of us:-)

Been using Cura trees for a while, and when you play with density and size to get light support. And good interface with the part.

in cura to make the surface cleaner you have to play with the support z distance a bit for traditional supports

@santiagopostorivo

Жыл бұрын

And support interface density. That really helps with the quality. I use 90%

By far, the absolute best support I have ever seen for fdm is the tree supports in the flashforge oem slicer. I really don't know how they do it, but they come out better than any other fdm tree supports I have seen

Re: the tree support in cura I had the same issue with single point contacts and pushed the 'Support floor density' up to 50% and used the support mod to add traditional support towers with the tree support

Since this is all needed regardless of gravity orientation (or gravity at all), I'd suggest that it's not a support at all, but a platform. Maybe you'd call it semantics, but a support is to resist gravity, where as a platform provides a surface to print against, which sounds like it's more technically correct. The best kind of correct.

I can always turn to your chanel for good reliable answers

did you try the other settings for tree supports on Bambu slicer? I think it could help a lot.

When I print D&D minis, I still use MeshMixer, its supports work very well for them. For everything else, I'm still wrestling with Cura to find something that works for most of my models...

Angus is adorable. What a smile :)

Have you tried PrusaSlicer's Snug supports? It's basically the same support columns, but they keep the supports a lot closer to the model and the interface layer is more cradle-like. I've gotten better surface finish with it and often it's easier to remove. Also, the Cura, PrusaSlicer 2.6 (when it comes out), and probably Bambu Slicer* all base their supports off a fork of Cura's tree supports. Thomas Rahm forked Cura, did a bunch of the work, the Cura and Prusa teams ended up working with them on the supports and are integrating it into their own slicers. Prusa said that their team came down with flu/*vid/etc. late December and they wouldn't get an alpha out in time. *Bambu indicated they found the supports from Cura, so I assume they are also using the same support setup, maybe with different set of settings.

Yes, "snug" is much easier to remove and less wasteful. I would prefer it the default option as well. Maybe not best for all purposes but especially good when supporting a detail over another layer.

I've recently started using the Organic supports in PrusaSlicer (and the support painter) and think they are a game changer. They seem equally effective (in my VERY FEW test cases) but seem easier to print they and use less material. While my strong preference is to figure out how to avoid needing supports completely, in the future if I need supports I'm going to at least look at using Organic.

curas support interface gap is tied to layer height too. makes it hard to get supports to both support the print and release well. PrusaSlicer's supports are definitely my preference.

I've used Cura's standard supports in conjunction with the support enforcer/blocker mod (one of them is official Cura, the other isn't, I forget which) mainly through a process of elimination. The dual extrusion printer we have _really_ doesn't like the GCode from Slic3r lineage programs for some reason, and IdeaMaker's supports were just _awful._ I've had some pretty decent results (as in, the workshop said "Yep we can use this in production") when I used the breakaway support material E3D sold a while back but is now discontinued. It stuck to ABS _just_ enough to support it, but it wouldn't weld to it like HIPS would if it's set to the same distance. It's a total pain when it's encased by the model, of course, and I've reminded the CAD guys on a few occasions to not do that. We have a couple of Markforged Onyx Ones now, and although I wish Eiger had more features and avoided stupid things like creating tiny support towers, it's a really solid package. Sometimes you get these slinky or accordion like things when you peel off the supports.

Ty, This will help me so much :)

I'd love to see this with a wider selection of slicers. I use MatterControl for a lot of my printing, for example, and there are some other popular options out there. I'd love to know for the slicers how much they cost, how wide a variety of printers they work with, AND how well they perform.

PrusaSlicer just announced "organic supports" (their implementation of tree supports) and improved automatic detection of areas that actually need support, for the upcoming PrusaSlicer 2.6 (the alpha is already available).

as someone new to 3d printing supports have been my biggest headache, so many times ive given up on printing something ive tried to do like 5x times only for the supports to weld onto the print or just impossible to break off regardless of what settings ive tried.

Meshmixer's tree supports reign supreme still. What an unrealized gem. On average uses half the material and they come off so nicely.

One more to add to the mix since they recently added fdm support, Lychee

Have you done any testing with the x1c AMS and using the different materials for the support interface on the breakaway supports? I've had really good luck with the Polymaker support materials for PA12 and PLA prints and some 3dxtech HIPS as breakaway interface on my ABS prints. It's a world of difference in bottom surface quality, especially if you reduce the top/bottom z distance. I could even turn the z distance down to 0 for my HIPS/ABS prints and got pretty much flawless overhangs with minimal struggle removing the support material.

i'm finding as i dig more into these settings, is that there's so many it becomes tough to keep things straight. well i did this, now i should do this, this should be done etc. checklists, discussions on what exactly effects what, 4etc, things like that. do you have any things that you have put together like that? a flow-chart of sorts? i had my printer pretty tuned in for printing a specific voxel model with a bunch of tiny over hangs etc, and it still needs to have the profile tuned a little more to perfect it, but i'm at the point where when i change this setting or that setting, it's enough to screw up the prints again. hopefully i'm making sense and if you know of a resource, i would appreciate being pointed twoards it! you have a great day sir!

I think the Bambu print's supports actually resulted in a better quality final model once you pried it all off. The lines and integrity of the coin surface looked a lot better. I don't mind putting a little work into cleaning it up if it makes the end model better.

Imo, I use the flashprint (i have a flashforge creator pro) and the supports do their job pretty dang good

Oh hey I also printed that Egyptian cat statue. But I printed it on its side with supports because I knew I was gonna file it afterwards to make it look like stone. Worked really well though!

Never have been this early to a maker muse video,guess i stayed too late up tonight haha nice video as always i like tree support on cura

Friend of mine loves idea maker supports.

I am excited for Prusas new organic supports!

I find Prusaslicer calculates heights wrong when I combine raft and supports which is usually for first couple of hundred layers of a segmented hydrofoil with leading edge pointed downwards. The supports start mashes into the raft layer. I still get great wing prints though.

That Cura support thing is a default for the Ender 3 standard profile, but if you make a new profile for a custom machine, it won't do this. It's kinda like the sheath setting on Prusa Slicer like you showed and I've always wanted to remove the setting, but just can't figure out how. It's annoying as heck to remove compared to the non sheathed ones I use on my machine. Another thing I don't understand is why tree supports keep like 2 or more layers separated from the print unlike normal supports that are 1 layer away, supporting well but still being removable. A slightly unrelated thing I would say is that when using soluble support, if you can physically remove the support from the part (say, it's not buried inside), use the soluble support material only on the interface layers. That way you get the benefit of the cheaper (usually, that is...) part material and the advantage of the soluble support to not leave marks on the part and print as if it was a top surface. It's pretty incredible how the parts end up.

Do any of these slicers offer a “manual mode” or manual override, say, were you could draw a polygon on the baseplate and force support generation in that area? For instance, let the auto algorithm do most of the work, but ensure you had something under the point of the “M”?

Using tree supports on the Bambo X1 work incredibly in my opinion. Had the X1 for just a few weeks, but I will probably never use any other support on this printer. I thought the tree supports in their slicer were one of the greatest benefits!

Cura's standard settings for supports are bad. With little tweaking the regular tree support is ok (sometimes doing crazy stuff) but the new christmass beta is amazing without any adjustment.
