3D Printing - Support Structures

ASupports were enabled but support density was too low

BThe printer ran out of filament

CThe print bed was not heated

DThe filament color was incorrect

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze support settings
Supports must be properly configured, including density, to effectively hold overhangs.
Step 2: Rule out unrelated causes
Filament running out, bed heating, or filament color do not directly cause sagging if supports are enabled.
Final Answer:
Supports were enabled but support density was too low -> Option A
Quick Check:
Low support density causes sagging = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Check support density if sagging occurs despite enabling supports [OK]
