A bit of feedback for an otherwise great video. The first 1/3 of the video was explaining why supports are a pain. I'm not sure about others, but I found this video because I already knew that and was looking for help on how to make it easier. At about the 2:40 mark is when the value of the video really took off for me. Please pardon the comments from the peanut gallery, but please know it comes from a place of respect for the effort that goes into making videos like this. Thanks!!

Of course for some parts it doesn't matter the orientation of the print, but beware that, for some mechanical parts, which one you choose as Z axis can make the difference (about resistance, accuracy and so on).

Yes, definitely a great point. If its a part that will be under any type of mechanical stress, aligning the layers appropriately is very important!

Thank you so much! Great explanation. I’m guessing your settings are the minimum spacing and distances to start at, do you have as much luck doubling these space settings? Or do you see more failure trying to increase them?
@ALLYOURTECH3DP7 ай бұрын
Sometimes you end up with a spaghetti failure if you go too far with the settings, so I usually try double the layer height and find it works well. You can also try tree supports which from my experience are pretty amazing and detach easier

Printing vertically on my FDM printer works best for me. I generally avoid printing horizontally like this because it makes the layer lines stand out more. Printing it vertically leads to more layer lines and thus a better finish, so I do that. You can try to split pieces into several parts, but that is a hassle and I don't know how to make the joins inconspicuous.
@wyattspop Жыл бұрын
Figured out there are many tools for removing stubborn or poorly designed supports besides the snips your printer came with; needle-nosed pliers, eyeglass-sized screwdriver kit (the flatheads), box-cutters (a good one works better than the $5 home depot version) and you can even employ a soldering iron to melt down excess until it's small enough to file.!

Great video, ironically I'm also printing a Mando helmet as well , but I have an Ender3 V2 Neo so I can't print it in one shot like you, it's 8 pieces and my first piece probably used more support filament than the piece itself (top-left-back), Can you tell me where to learn how to make the support piece much smaller? The support alone was 5 by 3 by 2 and took 11 hours! Thanks for helping out a noob dad

If you can use cura or prusa slicer, select tree supports or organic supports. That's going to cut WAY down on material used, and they seem to be easier to remove.

Hey Brother, been doing my homework since we last spoke, I bet most folks new to 3DP will have these questions; How can you tell if the STL you found used unnecessary support? (I use Cura) 2) How will we know if the settings we change to minimize supports made it inadequate (not supported well enough)? It would be heartbreaking in a 12 hour print to find it failed skimping on supports, does Cura show us if the print might fail? I realize it will be trial and error sometimes, and we want to save material, have faster prints, less support removal work so the benefits are massive, I'd just like to learn the generic settings, as would every 3DP fan. Thanks my friend, liked and subbed
