The Supports Won’t Come O My Object
• Create or edit a custom prole using
the MakerBot Slicer and increase the
“supportMargin” setting by .1 mm. This
will increase the separation between the
support structures and the model.
• Create or edit a custom prole using the
MakerBot Slicer and increase the
“feedstockMultiplier’’ by .05 mm. The
supports might be dicult to remove
because too much plastic is being
extruded. Changing this setting will slightly
decrease the amount of plastic extruded.
To print an object with supports:
1. Open MakerWare. Open the model you
want to print.
2. Click the Make button or open the File
menu and choose Make It.
3. In the Make dialog, ensure that the
following boxes are checked:
Ra: Select this checkbox to print your

object with supports. [Fig 10.6]
4. Print the object as usual.
