One question, how do you configure the supports? I use a Prusa Mini with PrusaSlicer (it’s my first 3d printer) and the parts that are supported, even if they are supported, don’t look good.
For example, in the arm 1 the elbow part looks pretty bad. I have placed it as you do and it is not quite right.
The configuration I use is:
Contact Z distance: 0.25mm
Pattern spacing 0-INF: 3mm
Interface Layers: 4
Interface pattern spacing: 0.2mm
XY separation between an object and its support: 75%.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
Hello David!
Yes, we can help you, but first, we need to know the following:
What exact problem are you having with the supports?
Are the supports difficult to remove?
It does not adhere well to the model and the surface looks bad?
What layer height are you using?
What nozzle diameter are you using?
Cheers!
Thank you for answering so quickly!
The problem is that the supports are stuck to the figure. For example at the elbows the detail of the stripes of the suit is completely lost. It gets all “muddled”.
I’m using a 0.1mm layer height and a 4mm nozzle.
Thanks again.
Best regards.
The thing is that supports always causes some problems. We also lose some detail when using supports. Then those details are fixed with the painting and resin.
We with a 0.4mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.1mm (the same parameters as you), print the supports at a height of 0.4mm, you could try the following parameters to see if it can be successful:
Contact Z distance: 0.4mm
Pattern spacing 0-INF: 3mm
Interface Layers: 4
Interface pattern spacing: 0.1mm
XY separation between an object and its support: 75%.
In case you notice that the piece is now very separated from the supports and comes off very easily, lower the “Contact Z distance” parameter to 0.3mm. Although, with 0.1mm layer height and 0.4mm nozzle, we get good results with “Contact Z distance at 0.4mm”.
In the same way, you must keep in mind that we are using an Ender 3 and the Simplify3D. For this reason, our parameters may not work for you in the same way.
Regarding the number of contours or perimeters, try to use 3 or 4.
Wow!.
Much better than I expected. Thank you very much.
It still needs some post-processing, but it’s much better.
Thank you very much for the advice.
We hope our advice helped you! Good luck with your 3D print!
