Easy To Remove Supports For Your 3D Prints: Tips and Tricks

Audio is like your whispering. Review/Edit your video before you upload. I have up 100% I can't hear shit

Manual supporta

I can't find these settings in Cura. Looking at "Setting Visibility", I see the "Support Z Distance" but that's it.

So everything apart from easy to remove supports

What? I can't hear you. Jokes aside, great information. Volume level is VERY low, though

your sound is very low

good video but the volume is so low that even at 100% I have trouble hearing certain parts

Thank You

Definitely going to try some of these settings. I just ruined an all day print trying to remove tree supports. The print was absolutely perfect otherwise.

Great share!!! Thank you!

Dude you are the GOAT. I've been trying to figure out these settings forever and you explained them in a way I could understand. Given I'm running on near zero caffeine and little sleep I need things explained like I'm a 2 year old rn.

I have mine from two days, only one question, its normal see the firt layer of strings in the back of prints? For back i mean the “ass” the part that touch the bad

Do these slicer settings you mention have the same name in Cura? I always have the hardest time with supports and try to avoid using it whenever necessary. Thank you!

If I print something small, like a 4x4x4 cm cube, can I put even less supports?
And what about something bigger (15x15x15 cm cube)?
Thanks!

Where do you find "Tree supports" in Cura? In "Supports" there are 6 choices like "tree support branch angle/distance/diameter" etc but I don't see just "tree supports" anywhere? Thanks much

Figured out there are many tools for removing stubborn or poorly designed supports besides the snips your printer came with; needle-nosed pliers, eyeglass-sized screwdriver kit (the flatheads), box-cutters (a good one works better than the $5 home depot version) and you can even employ a soldering iron to melt down excess until it's small enough to file.!

Hey Brother, been doing my homework since we last spoke, I bet most folks new to 3DP will have these questions; How can you tell if the STL you found used unnecessary support? (I use Cura)
2) How will we know if the settings we change to minimize supports made it inadequate (not supported well enough)? It would be heartbreaking in a 12 hour print to find it failed skimping on supports, does Cura show us if the print might fail? I realize it will be trial and error sometimes, and we want to save material, have faster prints, less support removal work so the benefits are massive, I'd just like to learn the generic settings, as would every 3DP fan. Thanks my friend, liked and subbed

I was about to rewatch the video to get the settings written down and then you said the settings are in the description and that earns you a subscribe

Of course for some parts it doesn't matter the orientation of the print, but beware that, for some mechanical parts, which one you choose as Z axis can make the difference (about resistance, accuracy and so on).

A 3d print is a 2 dimensional object layering process, with support for overhang !!!

Great video, ironically I'm also printing a Mando helmet as well , but I have an Ender3 V2 Neo so I can't print it in one shot like you, it's 8 pieces and my first piece probably used more support filament than the piece itself (top-left-back), Can you tell me where to learn how to make the support piece much smaller? The support alone was 5 by 3 by 2 and took 11 hours! Thanks for helping out a noob dad

Will these setting work on a Ender 3?

Wish you would have gotten straight to the point without explaining what support is we all know we aren’t stupid

I was excited to watch your video, you inspire me. You really need P r o m o s m!!

I've used very similar settings and I still struggle with PETG supports. Pla Is always a breeze for me. Will have to give it some more fiddling.

One remark on the video: the volume is pretty low compared to other videos. The quality is fine, but even at max volume on my tablet it's pretty low - especially for my ears ...

Thank you so much

Great explanation and just at the right time. My last print (supports) annoyed the living sh** out of me, will try it your way and hope for the best ;) Thank you!

Thank you very much, gonna try tweaking the support settings now !
