aniketb 0 Posted November 1, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material Hello Daid, I am using Cura 13.10. Its really great work you did for support material. I have one query about support material. Can I close top of support material with 100% infill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daid 266 Posted November 1, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material Currently not. For PLA I think this would make the support pretty hard to remove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaz911 0 Posted November 1, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material Hi Daid, I have a "suggestion" If you make long thin object - the the distance between support "bars" can sometimes get very small - leading to support is very hard to get off. Maybe try to space support walls "evenly" if there are a few. And again - when you get close to an endpoint - more even spacing of the support material. So if distance is set to 0.7 - then a support structure will be placed for every 0.7 - but if there is not 0.7 mm to an endpoint - another support wall will be placed at anywhere from 0.2? to 0.6 - pushing them very hard together. My preference would be to use 0.7 as a guide line - and have support walls spaced evenly. So all support walls would be 0.5-0.7 mm apart if the math solves. I would also like to see something like the fluf settings from Netfab for support. They are usually enough. The Cura support is (IMHO) a bit heavy handed with amount of material.

dumle29 0 Posted November 1, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material Hello I'd very much like the ability to adjust the distance between the support and an object if possible, as all the prints I have printed with support seems to stick too well. Also an idea for the new support: 4 layers before the support hits the object, put down 2 solid layers on the top of the infill, and 2 very light "interface" layers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illuminarti 16 Posted November 1, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material You already can configure the distance - both horizontally and vertically. It's in the expert settings dialog. (Expert -> Open Expert Settings...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dumle29 0 Posted November 1, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material Thank you very much, I seem to be too tired to read Been in that menu and out again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aniketb 0 Posted November 4, 2013 in Cura slicing for Support Material Hello Daid, I use HIPS for support material. So I can dissolve HIPS easily to get main material. Can you please make arrangement in next version to seal top of infill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
