[PVA support material outside of 3D print]

Hi P3D,

Yes, you are right, rotation would save me the struggle with the PVA. But I am printing in this orientation for a specific reason.
I am using clear PC filament and want the two hexagonal faces to be as clear as possible. When I print it upright the faces become very milky white, in this orientation they become quite clear ?

Hi gr5,

Thank you for your quick reply!

I understand why it would need to stick on the glass plate in this case, but for me it would only make sense to have it inside the object really. I have attached some more pictures of my 3D model, I hope they are helpful!

Thank you again ?

 

 

 

 

[PVA support material outside of 3D print]

Hi!

As I was looking through the Forum I could not find aa answer to the following question. If there is: I am sorry, I am new here :)

I have recently started to print with the option of dual extrusion. When I use the natural PVA as a support material Cura is always placing a wall outside of the actual model, even though there are no overhangs. Is there any reason for this or a simple solution to avoid this wall? It seems like it is just a waste of the PVA material and it is prolonging the actual 3D print quite significantly. 

Many thanks in advance!
