Support roof density 3d print.

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. I normally use support grid as it comes off in one piece. And the support density to about 75. To begin let s look at a common model that can help identify what types of overhang angles your printer can support.

Using small nozzles make a huge difference in how easy it is to remove support. 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. Prevent 3d printing support structures from damaging the model s outer walls by using the support x y distance setting. But haven t tried all the new types yet.

Cura has a neat little option to help you save on print time and material. A higher value will lead to stronger support but these will be more difficult to remove and take more time to print. Support density this defines the density of support structures. Also whilst line supports on very small prints may sometimes fail to print properly the roof itself rarely does.

Supports in 3d printing are essential to print objects with overhanging parts. Best support settings for 3d printing. More by the author. I also slow down the support print speed a bit as it tends to print some very small features often.

Low density supports are more likely to respond to vibrations while printing but they reduce filament cost print time and difficulty of support removal. The z distance setting can help make the 3d printing support structures easier to remove. This model has triangle support with three different densities. X y distance 1 x layer width.

The massive overhang test by thingster can help identify what types of angles your printer can smoothly produce. 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. 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. 20 support density is a great place to start but adjust this value according to the needs of your model.
