Hi,
Whilst If find Simplify a great piece of software, the support being created shows some quick limitations. The variations are limited as well and I find myself spending more time than I should to add support or tweak those. I have used other slicers and they typically by default are more creative on their support. I give few main example I know (this is not exhaustive):
- Never ever do you find a lacking support structure for obvious part of the object hanging in the air. It is very frequent with S3D and almost a BUG to me.
- The support can be variable in shape and density in particular when coming close to the object they support...This facilitates removal but as well better adjustment
- The support can go in other directions than just Vertical... this avoid contact with lower part of the object when going up to support a hanging hand over a leg for instance.
Whilst certainly, some of this can be cirucmvented by the add manual support and adjustement of few parameters, it is clear that S3D requires more attention to the support auto-generation to make it the perfect all in one slicer. Support is a very important aspect of our ability to print and is one if not my main disappointment on S3D. So I'd hope this could be improved largely in a future release ?
Thank you
