In this video we take a look at how I use a custom support plugin in Cura to allow me to place supports only where I need them. This is such an awesome plugin that is very handy for times when Cura is not able to create supports exactly how you want them. After you watch this video you will be off and creating custom supports of your own!

when i look up the plug in in the latest version of CURA it doesn't show up.

@cole3823 3 года назад

You can also change the support angle. If you increase the angle closer to 90 degrees the support will only form under angles that are greater than that number. This custom support plug in is also a good tool to have for some situations

@LiLthirtSty 4 года назад

This is exactly what i needed and straight to the point and very clear instructions thank you so much!

@21AKIMBOX Год назад

I cannot find Custom Supports on Marketplace...

me neither

same

@you_just 4 года назад

You can also turn up the support required angle- in the video you have it set to 45°, you could set it a little higher.

@bigchippa101 4 года назад

this is one of those things you simply MUST have in your bag of tricks... something in everyones Arsenal of 3d knowledge ... im almost into my second week of being a printer owner and im absorbing SO much my head is going to pop.. but even with all the troubles.. IM loving it and already planing on buying my second printer . :D this will only encourage me to do so sooner than later great video.

@CleoCat75 2 года назад

dude that's awesome!! I printed a figurine recently and it looked JUST like your example with the supports EVERYWHERE, and was impossible to un-case the figurine from the supports. This custom plugin will be SO much more useful!!

@deltatango5765 Год назад

Thank you! I found several plugins that I can use. Never even thought of checking out the Marketplace because I thought it was just going to be unrelated stuff for sale. Custom supports looks like exactly what I needed for a project I'm working on. Wish I'd seen your video sooner!

@jacobwheeler6136 3 года назад

I just started 3d printing and printing everything I can get my hands on to see what it can do.. this will definitely make my prints faster and easier to clean up

@deankq4adj125 3 года назад

This is an awesome add-on for an already wonderful slicer! Thanks for the tutorial.

@s8nlx661 3 года назад

This is probably one of the most usefull videos. I never realized to go to the marketplace to look for add ons like this that are ultra helpful. Just an idea for ya, you should do a video dedicated to marketplace add-ons that are handy to have. I never would have known this existed and I'm sure theres alot of others who don't either. If theres any add-ons you advise I'd love to know about em. Great video man

@anroidanicver6783 3 года назад

Just as I was searching this up you uploaded what I wanted just some days ago, thank you!

@Harvester88 4 года назад

Thank you, I was just using Creality slicer that was with the printer, this is a game changer for me for sure.

@nando850 3 года назад

Awesome video. Your channel is so underrated, you’ve helped me more than many of the other youtubers

@Ron_EZ 3 года назад

I used "tree supports" for the first time, on my last print. They went well, it engulfed the print, a pair of scissors made short work of it!

@blazeyreal7777 2 года назад

spent 2 and a half hours printing smth the print broke before the suports lol

@larryb6759 4 года назад

I didn't even know how to turn on supports. This will help me a ton. Thanks!

@hudacrafts3306 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the tips and all, I was having a hard time printing a model, now I can do it, thanks :)

@wiepechundschwefel 4 года назад

If I’m correct you don’t have to scale the box that big. For my test cura generated supports all the way down even if I only put one little block

@tringuyen121 3 года назад

Yeah, you can take advantage of bridging to get less support, and it'll be much faster too.

@ruralwashingtonstate6002 Год назад

The same app is available in the Creality Slicer, thank goodness. I have a Creality printer, so learned using the Creality Slicer, so this was extremely helpful. I just printed my 3rd figure and spent 30 minutes trying to take off all the "everywhere" supports and ended up damaging one arm and even tearing the figure off it's base. With the cylindrical supports, I have been able to eliminate 90% of the supports and all of the ones under the legs that were so hard to get out!

@jameshastings-spaine4183 Год назад

I have been looking for ages this week for supports At least I know it's in the marketplace now, and cheers... video still relevant now!!

@Dirks_NUMA_Files 2 года назад

If I only found this video a couple hours earlier it would have saved me so much time a olastic on my current print. Thank you for this tip

This answered my questions about custom supports. Thanks.

@nickrowan 4 года назад

You should also look into tree supports under experimental. They're super cool.

@TheBehnjamin 2 года назад

exactly what i need, explained perfectly. thankyou so much!

@destructo3994 2 года назад

hey man, I really want to thank you for this, I've wasted so much material and time on horrible prints that snap with a little force, because of the huge supports. Now I can finally print without wasting 600-700 grams on large prints. This video may be a year old, but god damn did this help me.

@79Rhinos 2 года назад

does this plugin still exist in cura 5 ? cant seems to find in the marketplace

@artlupinacci6759 2 года назад

Thank you, that was extremely concise and informative!!

@RomanoPRODUCTION 4 года назад

Your explanations are crystal clear. Good job. I am more using Prusa Slicer because I was using original Sli3er. There are equivalent features.

@ModBotArmy 4 года назад

Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙏

@cfriedalek 4 года назад

Can you rotate the supports? I assume you can since scaling and moving were available. If so then just rotate it so it extends to the print bed. Keeps the lower part of the leg clean.

@MrPlanecaptain 2 года назад

its not there

@starsstripesjacket 4 года назад

Thanks for this video, i was trying to do customs supports all wrong lol :p now i just wish there were more shape options for the custom support

@ytlimdivad1874 4 года назад

I've tried 'custom supports' and it keeps pushing up my model when I try to set to the base what's going on there? Also it extends through the part as well, is there so,e trick to using custom supports? Thanks

@tylerbrauer22 2 года назад

Thank you i've been fighting with the supports for a while on this print i was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my supports were not printing correctly!

@MrTheog1989 2 года назад

I found a link to the plugin via an all3dp article and the author no longer exists apparently :/

@combojerman28 2 года назад

amazing video! using g-code: do you know a way to turn off the bed temperature down or turn off after let say 1 hour or 2 hours or 1 day and then turn on if i need it? i have a bending problem and this comes from the bed temperature and the fan on my chiron. i will appreciate any help. thanks!

@schm4704 4 года назад

Thanks for the video! One thing I am struggling with regarding supports is the connection between the support and the workpiece. Either they are fused together so the removing the supports leaves an ugly underside, or they are so far apart that you wonder what the support is supporting at all.

@ModBotArmy 4 года назад

This is a fact. It is definitely a bit of trial and error get as close as you can to the sweet point. I have had PLENTY of experience with welded supports.

@avejst 4 года назад

@nn-hx8oe 3 года назад

as someone fairly new to this, how would i know if im doing it correctly for a long ass print? should i try small prints? what about the red zones below the hair and stuff like that that i often see in my models?

@TheMusiclover133 3 года назад

thank you. have you used the cylindrical custom supports plugin? it's also in the marketplace plugins.

@thecorrnershed 2 года назад

So I print the little Groku statue that is on Thingverse and it had supports built in the gcode file. My brand new CR10 pro v2 ( my first 3d printer) printed what I assumed were the bases for the supports, but the somewhere during the print, the supports just turned to strings spewed out of the nozzle. Thankfully the small statue still printed fine without the aid of the supports, but I'm concerned for the nest time I actually need them. Any thoughts?

@radiovan7 Год назад

Custom supports are very useful. I have some models that require printing cylinders on their sides. It's still challenging to get a good result and drilling out the supports is a pain. I'm using 10% infill for the supports. I'm using an FDM printer and it appears that a resin printer would still have the same issue with supports. A IDEX printer with water soluble supports might be the best choice.

@clelljoseph 4 года назад

Just curious...what z top clearance from your model do you use for your supports.?

@kspec2001 3 года назад

thank you! I was just removing the supports from a print. and got down to the last piece....and it damaged my print coming out. with this they dont need to be so robust.

@ripper9111 4 года назад

Excellent informative video! Very valuable information. Thank you. If you could do a similar video on using tree supports, it would be great as well. I wondered if you need to do the same thing with tree supports where you state that you check 'generate supports' adjust the setting then un-check it before printing.

@ModBotArmy 4 года назад

It seems that there is quite a bit of interest in tree supports. I will definitely be playing around with them and revisiting to provide feedback.

@kimkeam2094 4 года назад

Thanks for the info I appreciate it.

@no-trick-pony 4 года назад

try tree supports - i think they are still experimental in cura but in this case the supports could have started at the buildplatform. it has the same issues with regular supports though - you need blockers. But it's also easier to remove.

@Guardian_Arias 3 года назад

I like ideamaker more when it comes to that. You can auto gen supports before you slice and then delete them where its unnecessary or add a few more custom supports in a similar fashion. Then you slice it

@pezpengy9308 2 года назад

thank you! most excellent!

@fullwhackparamotoring2420 2 года назад

How do you get the ender logo on the build plate in cura, I can't figure it out?

@REKK82 3 года назад

thanks im trying it now

@oscarx6384 3 года назад

great video thanks!!

@christianmcmullen951 2 года назад

Hello, Do you have a video showing how to remove the supports cleanly? Thank you for this video it helped.

@aeiounix 3 года назад

This functionality is also essentially native in cura. Click the model to add a support blocker. Then select the support blocker and select print as support. The outcome is identical to the process in this video.

@maximthemagnificent 2 года назад

You can also make a support blocker enable supports for the area where it overlaps the model, which might be preferable in some cases.

@brosephchillaxatron5440 3 года назад

Im assuming you can rotate that support block as well?

@mealticketraceway 2 года назад

Awesome. I just been upgraded!

@justinstephens72 3 года назад

I am trying to use the custom support but some supports are greyed out or partially greyed. So when I slice it does not connect where it suppose too. Any ideas

@motoerhead1990 4 года назад

good video! But wouldnt it be way more efficient to use Curas Tree support for something like that?!

@luboss0008 3 года назад

hi my support sometimes breaks during printn but prints get printed ok do yo have any advice ?:/

@tango_sierra8608 3 года назад

Most impactful 3D printing video for me to date lol. Supports are so confusing for me

@dirtydogfpv6905 4 года назад

hi is there a way to use thiss wit suports at the same time

@quentin1357 3 года назад

hey , i don't have this bottom to custom support , how do i can active this please? THANKS

@TheEasternFighter 4 года назад

Everything on here is easily followed. Yet, when I slice it and preview I'm not seeing the support I created. Can someone explain to me why?

@rohinhans7819 2 года назад

I was looking for that plugin on cura 5.0, but cant seem to find it. Was it taken down or just not updated so cura doesnt show it?

@switch1770 3 месяца назад

Do you have an updated video for this problem?

@Bunyip_Studios 4 года назад

nice video, I believe you only need to place it under where you want it, and Cura will project it down to the base on it's own, that's the impression from CHEPs video on the subject

@davejoyslin2796 4 года назад

Yes, that's how it works for me. Also this is available in other versions of cura.

@lownignitus 4 года назад

Did you try to use Tree supports at all for printing this? Ive been printing busts with Cura and Tree Supports have been a life saver for me.

@plasma90800 3 года назад

Great video

@audiopoop2130 4 года назад

How you know where you have to place a support to print successfully?

@mopo3953 2 года назад

Was it actually easy to cut off the support even if it was smaller? It looks pretty much embedded into the main piece.

@jacklander233 2 года назад

Thanks great info

@rap-id-ralph 4 года назад

I get this principle, but you had a 45 degree overhang angle set for supports. Curious how much supports it would autogenerate if you set that to 65-70 or so?

@ModBotArmy 4 года назад

Agreed, I am sure it would be less. I just left it as default to show what it would give you with no tweaking versus adding your own little support.

@asgardsg 4 года назад

exactly

@Grissinen 4 года назад

Noticed me too, I'm using 70% and the plugin that put the objects in the best position with less support as possible: I think it's the best solution. With the custom support you risk to leave some parts not supported and waste plastic...
