Support Tab

 Support Pattern: Use the drop-down menu to select one of five support patterns,

including Lines, Grid, Triangles, Zig Zag, and Concentric. The pattern designs are the

same as those of the infill patterns of the same name.

o Lines support is easier to remove and is used on models that require more

support.

o Grid support is used on small models, which need fewer supports.

o Zig Zag support is used for models that are particularly difficult to remove. It is

stronger than Lines support and is better than Grid support.

 Overhang angle: The overhang angle is the angle between the support and the

surface of the model. Larger settings make the supports easier to remove, while

smaller settings provide better support. The default angle is 60 degrees.

 Support infill density (%): Determines the infill density for supports. The higher the

density, the stronger the supports.
