You want to design a complex 3D model with minimal supports. Which combination of features best achieves this?
hard📝 Application Q8 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify features that reduce supports
Gradual slopes, fillets, and arches help avoid supports.Step 2: Evaluate each option
Gradual slopes, fillets on edges, and arched bridges combines these features effectively for minimal supports.Final Answer:
Gradual slopes, fillets on edges, and arched bridges -> Option CQuick Check:
Support-minimizing features = Gradual slopes, fillets on edges, and arched bridges [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine gentle angles and arches to minimize supports [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Choosing steep or unsupported features
- Ignoring the benefit of fillets
- Assuming flat surfaces always print well unsupported
