You need to print a model with delicate details and minimal surface marks from supports. Which support density and pattern combination is best?
hard📝 Application Q8 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Consider delicate details and surface finish
Low density supports reduce contact points, minimizing surface marks.Step 2: Choose pattern for easy removal
Lines pattern is easier to remove and less likely to damage delicate areas.Final Answer:
Low density with lines pattern -> Option BQuick Check:
Delicate + minimal marks = low density + lines [OK]
Quick Trick: Low density + lines = gentle supports [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Choosing high density which is harsh
- Assuming honeycomb is gentler
- Using concentric which may cause marks
