(Help Request) Support Setting Issues

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Rutty@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨3dprinting@lemmy.world⁩

I have been printing a number of sculptures this week and while mostly good, I am seeing repeated issues associated with settings.

First, supports will wrap around a hand or foot and be difficult or impossible to remove without damaging the print.

Second, a support will fall over resulting in spaghetti infill for a portion of the print.

I am printing with both a Bambu Lab P1P and X1C using Overture Rock White PETG.

Supports are tricky. Use support painting to pick areas that are less visible when possible for support scars. You Can you use prusa slicer with bambu I believe. I find organic supports scar less is many instances. Most straightforward answer is also to try increasing support spacing.

  Bambu studio doesn’t have support painting? I’m using it in Orca slicer but maybe that was brought in from prusa slicer.

    I use Orcaslicer, it’s manual painting is not intuitive to me. That said, I haven’t much researched how to do manual painting of supports either.
    
    I think it’s the next logical step in my building domain expertise in 3D printing though. It just seems like a leap.

Your prints look amazing honestly. Dont expect injection moulding quality. It can be improved a bit with bigger gap or different supports, but models like this are quite difficult to print on FDM. Postprocessing is kinda normal
