3D Printing - Support StructuresDuring printing, a user notices that the support structures are fusing with the model, causing damage. What is a likely mistake?ASupports were not enabled in the slicerBSupports were printed with a different filamentCSupports were printed after the modelDSupports were placed too close to the modelCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Understand support placementSupports must be close enough to hold but not so close they fuse with the model.Step 2: Analyze fusion causeSupports placed too close can bond strongly, damaging the model when removed.Final Answer:Supports were placed too close to the model -> Option DQuick Check:Supports too close = Fusion problem [OK]Quick Trick: Keep supports close but not touching the model tightly [OK]Common Mistakes:Thinking filament type causes fusionBelieving print order affects fusionAssuming supports were disabled
