Cone supports
Cone support is thicker than the original support. It is ideal for adding sprues at the base of castable prints. When
using cone support as the sprues, simply leave them on the prints for casting.
Cone support also provides better adhesion to the platform, making it helpful for holding the base of heavy
objects on the platform. When the cone support is added to the object, it’s recommended to sand it away for
better surface finish.
