Oh my gosh, this is exactly what I was wishing for! Not to diminish the usefulness of the previously available tools, but y'all gotta admit that placing support enforcers is cumbersome on complex models. So happy to see the tools constantly getting better
@@Theluxuss01 Yes, but it could have been implemented better. And since S3D is now completely dead (I'm assuming), it makes sense to do the transition to a different slicer.
@@tinkerduck1373 I only still use it because I’m so proficient with it, but I find myself using PrusaSlicer more and more. There are so many things it does better, up until now support generation wasn’t one of them. The next version (if it ever comes out) of S3D is going to have to be revolutionary or it’s going to fail immediately.
@@matthewlaberge Probably, if there is any future S3D version at all. One question: Is it possible in prusa slicer to print 1- 2- layer dual extrusion supports? E.g. printing the object in PLA and most of the support; only 1-2 layers of the expensive PVA (just enough to remove the support)?
The clipping is an incredible feature. So many times I've struggled on other slicers to orient the model in just the right angle so I can click on the part I wanted to support!
Ahoj, tiskaři :) Musím říci BRAVO! Tyto funkce posouvají velmi dobrý nástroj na skvělý nástroj. Díky moc za vaší práci a pomoc nám komunitě. Jsem opravdu nadšený a těším se na oficiální vydání. Věřím, že mi to pomůže vylepšit kvalitu FDM tisku pro miniatury 28mm Ještě jednou díky a držte se !
I print on a Sidewinder X1 and forums continually say I should switch to cura but it’s features like these that are the reason I haven’t even thought about it! Great work Prusa!!
I dont know if I just didnt notice before.. but there is a Gcode viewer now.. I am beyond excited for this.. I have no idea how many Gcodes I have and cant properly view them on the "free software" out there.. the update for the slicer is awesome as well! I love it!
Another great video by Prusa 3D. Just got my mini the other day. I have four others from various brands and so far, I wish I had more Prusa printers as I like this little printer so far and will eventually get another as I make a little more money. You guys have put a lot of personal touches to include the gummy bears. I am happy to join the cult following.
You guys are awesome. I have been waiting for an improvement to the supports. With this feature, I might not ever need to use Simplify3D again, since I only used it when I needed to print supports. Thank you for all your hard work on the PrusaSlicer. Greatly appreciate it.
I'm slowly switching back and forth between PrusaSlicer and Cura and tbh, I really want to use PrusaSlicer more if it wasn't for a few missing features or improvements. I'd love an update to the support logic as I think Cura has this one down much better than what PrusaSlicer does, it would also be nice to see different support generation options similar to tree supports. Continue the great work guys and I'm looking forward to what you do bring next
Wow! What a great tool. I can't wait to see it in a non beta release. This is going to save me some big time frustration on jobs with complex support needs.
Looks well thought and easy to use. You did a great job here. Im looking forward to use that feature a lot. -Maybe you can add a square brush for more technical usages rather than artistic ones.
Very useful feature, seems more intuitive than drag in and position seeval cubes or cylinder to customize supports. Anyway it would be a clever idea to add symmetrical painting like switched on per default in blender sculpt mode.
@@TheMikolasZuza Tree supports have been on the to-do list for ~3 years now :( I doubt we'll ever actually see them even though I desperately want them.
@@cavedog1279 ~3 year ago? At that time, Slic3r PE was just founded and had only 1 developer. We didn't even have a to-do list back then :D Not to mention that we did implement tree supports over a year ago for SLA printers.
"PrusaSlicer can do what Simplify 3Don't" Even if you don't own a Prusa printer, the new features and the speed of implementation are just so much better than with the pricy alternative. I used S3D for many years, but the staggering development made me switch.
Agreed. I feel like supports was one of the things that was holding prusaslicer back but with this new tool I don't really see many downsides. The only thing I would like to see if maybe tree supports similar to how Cura does it. There are the occasional times where tree supports are very handy. But looking forward to using this tool!
Great feature! Please, make the same thing for seam position selection. It would make complex shapes look almost perfect, especially with silk/metallic PLA!
One feature that ive only seen on one slicer is a cut tool. All slicers should have it. It helps with making 3d designs without having to try and work in fusion 360 or any other cad .. cut and paste flashforge is the only one i know have does that ive used it to muck about with models before printing.. its great for kit bashing ideas together instead of trying to make it in a 3d software which can be a pain to learn..
How is it i've had the Prusa Slicer for so long and not discovered this tool. Really ought to start reading the update file :p. This is a very underrated tool. Awesome job guys.
@@alejandroperez5368 if you look at the support formation there is not only support from the print bed but also from the chest of the chess piece, if it was angled just from the chest piece and extended to the jaw edge then you would save a significant amount of support material and utilize half of the required support base.
@@JoshTosh92 ... or you could angle it the other way so that supports don't touch the chest at all, giving you nicer surface finish. There are definitely lots of situations where angled supports can be useful.
@@hannesgroesslinger true! For a piece like this that would make sense for a quality finish. Some parts the surface finish might not matter, but strength does. I have yet to see how to do this however. I haven’t tried to figure it out much yet though.
Really cool feature. Been enjoying using it on my CR10S Pro prints. Will it come to SLA printers? I noticed it used to be called FDM support but now it's just support
Amazing app , the only shortcut I wish exist is to zoom in out with Alt+ middle mouse click , or right click , I use wacom tablet and I don't use scroll in the mouse and it is tedious to use the wacom wheel to zoom in and out
Does anyone else have the problem that sometimes it just won't add the supports (yes, even with support enforcers option turned on)? It's only happened a couple of times for me, and only on certain models.
Big shoutout to the Prusa Team for this great tool!

That is such a cool and useful feature! Thanks for sharing how to do it Josef!
That's actually Mikolas Zuza.
@@Thomasr20de my bad, it sounded like Jo
Paint on supports very well implemented, congratulations !
And very well explained here, too!
big thanks, even without having a prusa right now, still in love with the prusaslicer!
Holy shit😍
This is a Game changer
The only thing I was waiting to change from Cura! Congrats Prusa on such great feature!
Great video, helped me learn something I knew nothing about. Straight to the point, no fluff, just good 'ol informational video. Thank you!
Thanks for constantly improving this great slicer! Great feature!
Great feature with a well thought out UI/UX! Superb job all!
Glad you like it!
Ohhh i love this, can't cant wait for it to be in the main build!
Thanks, Miki! I've been somewhat struggling with the paint on supports. This helped a lot.
Thanks! :)
Great video, please do more such guides for new and existing features of PrusaSlicer!
This is a huge step forward. People used to buy proprietary products to achieve this...
Prusaslicer really is the go to slicer these days. It’s amazing that people still buy simplify 3D.
WOW! , Great feature and execution! That is exactly what I have been wanting for years!
Simplify 3D has this feature since 3 years 😅
@@Theluxuss01 Yes, but it could have been implemented better. And since S3D is now completely dead (I'm assuming), it makes sense to do the transition to a different slicer.
Wow, this looks even easier than support generation in Simplify3D... Cheers!
I really wonder who else considers switching from S3D to prusa slicer.

I have just watched this video and then asked myself why I was watching it lmao I dont even own a 3D printer. I guess it's just a good video 🤔😂
To je tak pěkně jednoduché, díky!
I dont know if I just didnt notice before.. but there is a Gcode viewer now.. I am beyond excited for this.. I have no idea how many Gcodes I have and cant properly view them on the "free software" out there.. the update for the slicer is awesome as well!
I love it!
PrusaSlicer quickly becoming the gold standard for all slicers. If it isn't already.
This is the most stable alpha version I have ever seen

I have already used the paint on support in the alpha to print a really difficult print. Worked flawlessly.
You guys are awesome. I have been waiting for an improvement to the supports. With this feature, I might not ever need to use Simplify3D again, since I only used it when I needed to print supports. Thank you for all your hard work on the PrusaSlicer. Greatly appreciate it.

Great powerfull tool! Easy to use, Thank you very much Prusa Team :)
Probably one of the most useful tools of all
Looking forward to have this on future updates so I can leave full supports behind!
very well done, looking forward to it!! very useful
I'm amazed. Will test it tomorrow.
Skvělý, na tohle jsme všichni čekali:))
Wow! What a great tool. I can't wait to see it in a non beta release. This is going to save me some big time frustration on jobs with complex support needs.
Amazing feature.
Thank you so much!! It really helped me out with the strings and stuff! Printing with the Ende 3 Pro.
Great instructional video. Thanks.
That is amazing! Maybe one day this tool can be used with MMU2S printers so a user can essentially paint a color onto an stl?!
Stl doesn't provide that much informations. It has only vertices information.
@@no_one2691 but the gcode that is exported could have the mmu2 information to change the filament
@@b1998En correct! A gcode could have this information. A stl not. I guess we talked from different things. Sry
++ to this
Awesome tool and great work on the demo! I have been experimenting with the alpha. I never knew the tab key switched between views!
I'm using prusa mk3s for 2 years and just found this feature... damn!
Cool update! Keep up the good work!
Great updates over the years thank you

PrusaSlicer is now beyond the most advanced professional grade tools. Well done. How many people are working on your software team full time now?
Thank you very much.
Was hoping for tree supports, but this is good too! Should save quite a bit of time from putting enforcer and support boxes everywhere.
How is it i've had the Prusa Slicer for so long and not discovered this tool. Really ought to start reading the update file :p. This is a very underrated tool. Awesome job guys.
Darn. Wish I'd seen this two days ago. Just spent an hour cleaning up a print that would have been a 2 minute job with this feature.
What a great feature I didn't know I needed.
Now the way supports get handled needs to be addressed. Building a curve with squares is no good
Now we need paint on Multi-Material!
You should adapt SLA tree support to FDM in a way one could support an area of the print without having the support to touch anything below that.
Noice. Now, paint on tree supports ... letzzz gooo
Omg this is great!
I wish this worked for me. Its putting supports everywhere regardless.
This is hot 🔥
Prusa and S3d: 100 settings. Includes custom supports.
Cura: 100 settings. 9999 extra unused settings. Tree supports. 0 custom supports.
Great features!!!
Well... Guess I'm going back to prusaslicer again..
I hope we can have "Paint on multi-material".
Can you add angled supports, like from the chest of the chess piece to the chin, instead of from the print bed all the way up?
Why would you want to ruin your print like that ? Lol
