You can also quickly duplicate them with copy&paste. Support blockers and enforcers can be manipulated with the familiar Move, Rotate, and Scale tools. Simple mode - Enforcers/blockers are always box-shapedĪdvanced mode - Box/Cylinder/Sphere/Slab shapesĮxpert mode - Option to load external geometry as a blocker/enforcer Right-click on a model and choose either a Support blocker or Support enforcer.
Starting with PrusaSlicer 2.3, you can also use Paint on supports. If you think such a part of the model could be printed without supports, but neither the Overhang threshold setting nor selecting Supports on built plate only helped, you can adjust supports manually. The automatic supports can sometimes appear in hard-to-reach places, resulting in a tedious removal of support structures. When you do so, the global settings will once again be applied. You can remove the settings overwrite by clicking on the red cross icon. Changing these settings will affect only the relevant object and its instances. Alternatively, you can right-click on the editing icon in the Object list.Ī new window will appear in the right panel called Object settings to modify - Support material. You can overwrite them by right-clicking on a model in the 3D view and selecting Support material. By default, all models are affected by the global settings. It’s possible to print multiple objects at once each with its own support settings. This option is essentially a shortcut that turns Print settings - Support material - Generate support material on, but Print settings - Support material - Auto-generated supports off. Supports from build plate only (left), supports everywhere (right) For support enforcers onlyĪutomatic support generation is enabled only for areas marked with a support enforcer. Supports from build plate onlyĬreates only supports that have their base at the print bed. However, small imperfections may appear on the surface where supports started growing from. This ensures that every overhang and part starting mid-air will get supported. Supports can grow from both the print bed and any model surface when necessary.
When you encounter hard-to-remove supports, consider wearing protective glasses (this sounds stupid until you get hit in the eye for the first time).
Pieces of supports can be surprisingly sharp and are sometimes violently ejected in a random direction after removal.
