•
Support Pattern: Use the drop-down list box to select one of five support patterns,
including Lines, Grid, Triangles, Zig Zag, and Concentric. The pattern designs are the
same as those of the infill patterns of the same name.
•
Lines support is easier to remove and is used on models that require more
support.
•
Grid support is used on small models, which need fewer supports.
•
Zig Zag support is used for models that are particularly difficult to remove. It is
stronger than Lines support and is better than Grid support.
•
Overhang angle for support (°): The overhang angle is the angle between the
support and the surface of the model. Larger settings make the supports easier to
remove, while smaller settings provide better support. The default angle is 60
degrees.
