Support Features
Manual Support Brush Tool
Interactive brush tool that allows precise placement of custom supports on complex geometries and overhangs where auto-supports may fail.
Support Blocking Tool
Block auto-generated supports from specific areas to prevent unnecessary support material and reduce post-processing work.
Custom Support Density Control
Adjust support density from 5% to 95% for different requirements - lighter supports for easy removal, denser for complex overhangs.
Support Interface Layers
Configure specialized interface layers between supports and model for easier removal and better surface quality on supported areas.
Tree Support Generation
Advanced tree-like supports that use less material, provide better stability, and are easier to remove than traditional linear supports.
Support Angle Threshold
Set custom overhang angle thresholds (30°-80°) to control where supports are automatically generated based on model geometry.
Manual Support Workflow Explained
Model Analysis
Use the analysis tool to identify overhangs and problematic areas requiring manual support
Brush Selection
Choose from 12 different brush types for adding or removing supports with precision
Support Placement
Manually place supports on critical overhangs and complex geometries
Parameter Adjustment
Customize support density, pattern, and interface settings for each manual support
Preview & Validate
Use 3D preview to validate support placement and make necessary adjustments
Slice & Export
Slice the model with manual supports and export GCODE for printing
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Supports not generating | Support feature disabled, incorrect angle threshold | Enable support generation, adjust overhang angle to 45° |
| Supports too difficult to remove | High support density, no interface layers | Reduce support density to 15%, enable support interface |
| Supports failing during print | Insufficient support density, poor adhesion | Increase support density, add brim to supports |
| Manual supports not sticking | Support tip diameter too small, contact distance too large | Increase tip diameter to 0.8mm, reduce contact distance |
| Software crashing | Insufficient RAM, outdated graphics drivers | Close other applications, update graphics drivers |
| Poor surface quality under supports | No support interface, contact Z distance too small | Enable support interface, increase contact Z distance |
Common Error Messages
- E001: Model too large - Scale down model or increase build volume
- E002: Invalid geometry - Repair model mesh using repair tool
- E003: Support generation failed - Reduce support complexity or restart software
- E004: Memory allocation error - Close other programs or increase virtual memory
- E005: Printer not detected - Check USB connection or reinstall drivers
- E006: Slicing timeout - Simplify model or reduce slicing quality
