Support like Simplify3d

[ClausJ 5]

I have started using Cura for the majority of my prints but supports are still a pain. Trying to copy all settings from S3d but support from Cura needs a chisel to remove while S3d support removes without effort. Is there a magic setting I have overlooked?

Hey @ClausJ,

 

There are a lot of settings that you can tune to improve your support. 
Can you share a picture of what kind of improvement you are looking for? 

There are a number of settings you can tune:
-If it's large bulk of ZigZag support you can consider using Break Up Support in Chunks
-If your support is too close to the model you can tune settings like  Support X/Y or Z distance

-If the top of your support is messy you can also consider changing Support Interface settings. 
-If you have trouble gripping your support with pliers you can consider reducing the Support Wall Line Count
-If the footprint of your support is too big, you can Enable Conical Support
-If you have super organic shapes you can use tree support instead, and if you have already tried that, you can try the new tree support released over Christmas here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/tag/5.3.0-alpha%2Bxma

I hope this at least get you in the correct direction. 

 

Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting. 

To save a project file go to File -> Save project.

You will need to ask Simplify3D.
UltiMaker does not make any of the "UltiMaker" profiles in Simplify3D.
Simplify3D makes all those profiles.
