Using Cura
Support
You define how your support material is generated here. You must have a support type in the ‘Basic
Settings; in order for these support settings to have an effect.
Structure Type
You can choose between a ‘Grid’ or a ‘Line’ pattern for your support material. The grid will be
a checkerboard pattern in the X and Y direction. The line option will produce lines along the
Y-axis for support. The grid will provide stronger support than the line option, but will be
harder to remove.
Overhang Angle for Support (deg)
This will determine where support material is generated. In general you will be able to print
a model with 45 to 90 degree angles in relation to the Heated Print Bed without support. We
recommend leaving this setting at 45 degrees.
Fill Amount (%)
This will determine how dense your support material is printed, similar to Infill Percentage.
The higher percentage the better support, but it will be harder to remove the support
material and will use more filament.
Distance X/Y(mm)
This will determine how far away from your object in the X/Y plane that the support material
is being placed.
Distance Z (mm)
This will determine how far away your support material is from your object in the vertical
direction. A smaller number here is better for support, but makes it harder to remove.
Black Magic
This section allows you to transform your model into a hollow shell, a single layer thick
Spiralize the Outer Contour
This causes your Z-axis to be constantly moving upward as you are printing your single outer
wall shell. This results in no layer change lines, giving a much smoother surface. This setting is
typically only used for artistic objects as they will be fragile.
Only Follow Mesh Surface
This will cause your print to follow the outside of your model, building it completely hollow
with a single wall outer shell. The only difference between this and Spiralize, is that the Z-axis
moves regularly. That is, it prints a layer and then moves up to the next one.
