Open support
- Support density: Since open support can be removed in a single piece, we
recommend a high support density (40% or more) with 2 layers of solid inter-
face to obtained better surface finish.
- Threshold overhang angle: Most 3D printers can print overhang angles up to
45˚ , so it is recommended that the threshold overhang angle be set at 45˚.
- Support infill pattern: For open support, since the support structure can be
removed relatively easily, perpendicular infill is generally recommended.
Closed support
- Support density: It is recommended that a support density in the range of
15% - 30% is used for closed support for easy removal.
- Threshold overhang angle: similar with open support, a threshold overhang
angle of 45˚ is generally recommended.
- Support infill pattern : It is recommended that the infill always be parallel for
closed support to better break it away.
Note: A dense support interface between the model and the support can also be used to im-
prove the surface quality of the supported face. We recommended 2 dense layers at 90% infill.
