I copied your settings and had a file that would not print properly auto supported. It took some tweaking and 2 tries, but these settings are great. I though the file was 'unprintable' but it looks great! thanks a lot :)
I wanted to give you a huge thank you!. I have watched some other videos on supports since i started and I have had so many issues printing from nothing printing to half of what i put on the plate printing, So many failures and since watching this and following it, for the first time I have had 100% a few times in a row now. I probably just jinxed myself but I could not be more excited. I have been trying to print something with a lot of parts and it has been taking forever because of the failures and now its all coming out perfect. Thank you so very much!
Right. The platform touch shape refers to the tapered bit between the pillar of the support and the actual contact shape where the support contacts the model. I didn't understand that at all until you went through it.
❤thanks a lot for this video! I've been typing for myself for three years now, but getting the right settings and supports is just some kind of battle! You may want to mention in your videos about the optimal lift speed to keep print rejects of large models to a minimum. the print time does not matter.
Hello, your prints are perfect, I make a lot of very small scale prints in 1/64 scale, I would have some tips for supporting very very small parts, thank you.
Thats interesting. The leg supports seem very thin. I imagine in my case I would see some skew lines... The worst part in printing is that you have to wait for the print done till you can really validate correctness of the supports :P
Hey Dennis. Just wondering. Personally, I don’t really care what supports people use, I can measure my stuff, but what I would like to know what are your print settings. Printer/print speed, lift speed, distances etc…all those technical parameters. Thank you in advance!
After my third or fourth attempt at using these support settings, I give up. These support settings may work for things like 25/32mm miniatures and component based models with small parts like in the thumbnail, but for anything else these are insufficient. Additionally, Chitubox has completely changed their support options and most of their UI, and you no longer have the ability to add more than the three support sizes that are built in to the slicer. You can modify the sizes of the three settings, but you cannot add more.
support requires experience knowing where to add extra, where to keep minimum. simply copy my support setting will not work without such experience. analyze your fail print and add extra support where it fail. i can print full 30x20x30cm big model just fine with 0.4mm support all round the model as anchor and 0.3mm as stability support, then use 0,2 or 0,1 for tiny non overhang details. it is all about experience.
With the leg... How did you know that the knee didn't need supporting? I would have thought that the knee would have created a lot of pulling on the foot area.
Is there a flexible resin available,like a rubberized resin? I wanna start making detailed copies of discontinued g shock watch bezels and straps so I can continue to enjoy wearing them.
Is it possible to add extra support settings to Chitubox free? I can customise the light/medium/heavy but it doesn't look like I can create any extra support profiles
Hello Dennys, after I had to change my FEP early this year I started getting a lot of failures due to the supports, so I started over supporting which fixed the problem but has caused a lot of damage to the models. Important to mention I always do auto supports. Do you think manual support is the answer?
@@wangdennys You save your profile and export your settings before importing another profile. Its really easy to change settings, importing another profile messes nothing up at all.
Brilliant Denny I'm trying all your advice and using your prints from your cults to set my printers up I jut got my m5s anycubic 20 minutes ago I'm about to open it up I'll use all the great Info you have! This was abit confusing on the support names but loved the way that leg printed! I have a model trailer for a ww2 US DUKW I am trying to print I'm just wondering of you had any advice on what angle? I printed a first test of it at 45° but it's printed on the mono 2 with large quite deep layer lines at 50um layer hight, I know this is going to be larger step lines anyway it was a test print but my saturn 2 8k was busy at time of printing or wouldn't have normally used this printer for something of this 1.35 scale size anyway the trailer it is hollow lid separate but like a bath tub! What way would you suggest for printing this? If you want to see a photo it is the WW2 US amphibious Trailer the tub only the chassis is separate! Many many thanks for taking time to read this and for all your help
you are not using lychee? i switched, it's MUCH faster and bulk processing of supports is gold. for example loot studio models need reduction in tip sizes by 30-40%, they use tips of up to 0.6mm. my maximum tip size is 0.3mm for anything not completly flat and able to sand. best is lychee for supports, chitu for slicing.
@@wangdennys Interesting you prefer chitubox. Can you do a video on comparison between chitubox pro and lychee pro. I use lychee pro and understand about the auto bracing missing many supports. I don't understand about edit support option, what more option is possible?
I watch and admire your work. But here is a question, in the video, you say that all supports have a base of 1mm. However, on your small models (tank, and others up to 3-4 cm) they seem to be thinner. What support base do you use when printing small models?
