Depending on the parameters and the shape of the model, and then create support structures read,

so having a lament support. At the end of printing, with some patience, you remove these struc-

tures and the piece remains clean and with the shapes you want. Here is an example of an object that

requires the supports accompanied by the G-Code generated with these supports

The supports are vertical structures under the cheekbones and inside of the orbits.

Keep in mind that the surfaces of contact between support and model we will have a very low surface

nish for the concrete possibility that the two areas are merged together: this will require a nishing

to remove the backing material and arrange some nishes (if deemed necessary).

In professional printers supports are manufactured using special thermoplastic, possible to dissolve

through special chemical or thermal baths, led with a second extruder. Even with Sharebot NG, du-

al-extruder version, you can use as supporting material of the “Poly” (polystirene) limomene soluble

in combination ABS for printing.

Printing Details

When you print a piece, you dene the various parameters including the thickness of the layer. This

value has a signicant impact on the denition of the object for all surfaces that grow upward with

an inclination much bland. lmmaginate an inclined plane and mentally slice it: the size of the slices

can vary a lot and, if they are drawn with a xed-width line, you can open the spaces between one

layer and the next. If the number of slices increases because they are thinner, the spaces between a

and the next layer is reduced so the shape is better dened under the horizontal prole, both in the

vertical one. For this reason also the z-axis resolution is hyped as a distinctive element of 3D printers.

A side eect of layer thickness prints motto bass (from 0.1 to 0.2 mm) is increasing the printing time:

the track will be built with the same amount of material, but the extruder will have take much more

“Street” because of the greater number of layers to be created, even if each is made with less mate-

rial, and then the total does not change.
