Support Test by oakq

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

A quick test to see if your support settings are decent. Tests supports against a simple flat 90 degree angle roof and floor
Creates supports for a 90 degree angle roof that touches the floor of the model so that you can test the quality of the underside of the roof and the top of the floor after you remove the supports.
Tips:
If the supports are too hard to remove, lower your support infill and/or increase your Z-Gap/Z-Distance
If the roof is drooping or is low quality, increase support infill and/or lower your Z-Gap/Z-Distance
If the roof droops in the back, lower your X/Y distance
If it isn't too hard to remove, but the quality still isn't good, try printing the support with a roof/floor. I know Cura can do this, I dunno about other slicers
Includes two boxes that are 40L x 20W x 20H in mm
The 1mm variant has a thinner wall, ceiling, and roof then the 3mm, so take your pick. The 3mm is the stronger one so you're less likely likely to break it trying to remove the supports
Take the chance to experiment with your support settings and find what works best for you!
