Improving Print Quality with Better Support Settings
Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2025 2:27 am
Hi all,
I’ve been using Simplify3D for a while and generally like it, but I struggle with supports on complex overhangs and bridges.
In our work, reliable prints are key since the parts must fit with electronic components sourced from distributors on tight schedules.
Default supports sometimes are too hard to remove or not strong enough. I’ve adjusted pillar resolution and dense layers but need more tips on improving support quality without causing post-processing issues.
Any advice on printing parts that work well with electronic component procurement timelines would be appreciated!
Thanks!
