See picture for, in my opinion, a good support. Thanks, but I only see a round printbed and my stl file without any support structure :? In the meantime I had to do this parts by using Kisslicer as it was not possible in Simplify. I'll have to print several parts for this customer again and this pa...

I just discovered this thread while trying to figure out if Simplify3D was able to do this. Thanks so far for saving me the money. :-/ ... In Slic3r 1.2.5 the XY Compensation feature seems to work for simple hole tests, but crashes consistently when applied to gears. The question for me now is, wha...

forgetting the slicer here for a min but would those not print way better if the were flipped 180deg. You would need no support at all. Look at the very first post: this pins are just a small section of a "huge" part I cannot rotate. It's like a knights castle with fine, ribbed merlons - ...

I guess since you've already printed the part it's academic, but I'm curious about how to support something with this kind of detail in S3D. I had to print those parts for a customer and as Simplify 3D cannot do this I used the free Kisslicer (also the free Slic3r can do this). If it will not be so...

See picture and gCode attached!

nozzle 0: PLA
nozzle 1: PVA
...and I know that support inflation of about 1.4mm is pretty much

Looking at your model, I don't see how S3D's support could work for this model, given how I think S3D's support is generated. Given that, perhaps human-generated supports would be better? Definitely and I also did that already. BUT: Free Slicers as Kisslicer and Slic3r CAN DO this, but not a $140 s...

Generally if you have an overhang of less than 1mm you don't need support, as the weight of the plastic doesn't pull it down, and it'd be very difficult to deal with support in the tiny area. It's also likely smaller than the horizontal clearance area for support in S3D. As mentioned I will post th...

See attached: on this small overhangs (about 0,8mm) the support is not correctly triggered.
When entering a smaller value than the standard 2,5mm for the support posts (1,0 is the minimum) there are some supports in the gCode but not fully correct
