In this recipe, we're going to examine some support options in Slic3r that will adjust the physical contact of the support material to the model. This is important in order to tune a profile that will provide not only good support but also a support material that will easily be removed.
We will proceed as follows:
Under Print Settings, select Support material. Check the Generate support material box.
Change the default setting for Pattern from
honeycombtorectangular.Now, choose Pattern spacing and change the default value from
0to2.5.We'll test the other support settings at the default values. Slice and save the G-code.
Print the model.
Now, choose Pattern spacing and change the value from
2.5to5.0. Slice and save the G-code.Print the model.
