support print quality help

Hey guys,





You helped me figure out my last issue, so hopefully you can help me with this one. I'm using a robo r1 plus with simply3d, my issue is when I print something with supports the first layer after the support is crappy. I've been playing with settings on the support side but have had no luck. here are the support settings I have.



Support infill: 30

Extra inflation distance: 1mm

support base layers 0

combine support every 1 layer

dense support layers 4

dense fill: 90%

support pillar resolution 1mm

horizontal offset from part: .30mm

upper and lower vertical seperation layer 1

Re: support print quality help

Were you able to improve this at all? I have a similar issue and have been trying the advice in the S3D guide, but that first layer doesn't seem to change no matter what I do. It is just not good at all.

Re: support print quality help

One of the big problems when asking for help with making adjustments to settings ....is the simple fact that it's almost impossible to give advice as to what to change when you have no idea of what the settings were in the first place.......which is why the op's question has remained unanswered.

To get some meaningful advice, the best thing to do is to create a factory file for the part being printed.....File menu====> Save Factory File......and then attach it to your post along with photos and a description as to what you are trying to improve.

The op has included a few settings...those he/she think are important....but actually not the ones that ARE important! Rather than guessing.....attach a factory file. Its easier than typing ten lines of settings!!
