3D Printing - Support Structures
A slicer shows no supports added despite model having steep overhangs. What could be a reason related to the overhang angle threshold?
A slicer shows no supports added despite model having steep overhangs. What could be a reason related to the overhang angle threshold?
medium📝 Analysis Q7 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze threshold effect on support generation
If threshold is higher than any overhang angle, no supports are triggered.Step 2: Relate to problem
No supports despite steep overhangs means threshold is set too high.Final Answer:
The threshold is set too high, above the steepest overhang angle -> Option BQuick Check:
High threshold = No supports added [OK]
Quick Trick: High threshold disables supports for steep angles [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Blaming temperature or layer height
- Thinking low threshold causes no supports
