Wow, thank you so much for this video, I'll try this right away. I've been struggling with a specific print for weeks, but this would help a lot 😁
When I go back and look at my Cura settings, I don't see a single improvement that wasn't because of Chuck. So thank you, Chuck. Your work is incredibly valuable.
Great video. I look forward to each Friday for your helpful hints. I've learned more from you and your experience than anywhere else. Please keep it up.
This is a nice addition to the rest of Chuck's videos on supports and the various ways to use them effectively. The cylindrical plugin supports can also be set as cutting meshes so you can hide parts of the model you may not want to print. I use that feature a lot when I'm testing large practical prints and only want to print a specific part of the model. Thanks again for all the useful tips and information.
Very true. I should cover more of that in a future video.
Thank you for the support / update.
Really amazing plugins, Chuck! 😃
Thanks a lot!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Invaluable. Especially the reminder to not select the support button when using custom supports. That one has been stumping me for a few prints now.
OMG. Why has this not always been available? What a common sense idea!! Thank you for the info Chep!
always a pleasure to see your videos. Thank you.
I started watching your videos today and I learned a ton of things about Cura! Thanks!!!
Moving the supports is Epic. Nice work Chuck.
This is the kind of support I’ve always needed
That is incredibly useful, thank you Chuck!
Woa. Had no idea Cura had these supports!
I'd typically build those offset supports on my own within the CAD, but it's pretty neat to see these.
Wow! Great tip Chuck. I needed this last week and this would have saved me so much time...Cheers
Wow! Thank you so much for this. Really helpful!
Thanks for highlighting these features in Cura. I really need to make the switch from 15.4. I just haven't had the confidence or time to switch over my custom settings for my printrbot simple metal.
Super useful. Wish I had found this video sooner.
Exactly what I was looking for
Great update/expanding of the support possibilities
Thanks for sharing :-)
Cool video!
I guess I need to check for updated plugins more often.
I can see where these custom supports in the updated version can be extremely beneficial for some of my prints!
Thanks Chuck. I just used this to print support feet for my Ender 3v2. The first print left a lot of support material on the print. customizing the support fixed the quality of the print
Thanks so much for this. I'm new to all of this and this has been a massive help.
Just downloaded these and I’m ready to try them out!
Thanks. Your videos are very clear and precise. 👍 Well done.
Thanks Chip excelent video like always!!!
Great tip! Will try on my next print 👍🏼
You have just saved me sooo much trouble. THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic, Chuck! Thank you so kindly for the tips. You've introduced whole sections of Cura I didn't even know existed!
I feel ashamed as I have been playing with this program for over a year (part-time).
I don't use supports a lot and lately when I have, I refer back to this video to remind me how to do the custom supports. Frequent viewer, fan, and subscriber! Thank you!
Thanks for watching
This is exactly the sort of think I needed thanks mate appreciate the video
I installed this plug-in and found myself using it very very sparingly it's extremely situationally useful but when you do have that one print that benefits from it it makes it worth having it installed
This is cool, I had no idea about this addon, I like it a lot, thanks for the info!
Great vid extremely helpful. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for this video. It helped a lot!
Very useful. I was surprised those long bridges worked with only a little support in the middle. I rarely need custom supports but on the few occasions where it was necessary I just designed my own in FreeCAD. However I understand that this method works for everyone without the need for CAD editing (e.g. people printing from ready-made STLs etc.)
That's super helpful.
Now I'm just hoping someone will make a plugin like "paint on supports" and then I think all the bases will be covered.
Thanks very much for this video. Helps a lot!
Thanks, very useful info!
If I am not mistaken , there was an option for the tree support without touching the print...
That's pretty slick.
And another great video.. thankyou for sharing..
Great Video again. In this video in a few seconds literally I found what I was looking for. which was how to move and reposition custom supports. I am playing around with the different types. One thing you cover which is great and important to know is don't tick the check box in setting for the main support and you let people know that the settings will still be applied to the custom supports. This is information that other video don't cover but is VERY HELPful. I tried using a standard support fill in CURA 5.0 and there was absolutely no way to remove the supports. When I tried standard supports in Cura 4.x CURA places supports that are like a thin wall. These were very easy to remove. Actually I am trying to reproduce that type of support. I hope CURA 5.0 Redues how the standard supports work.
Really helpful, thanks 👍
great chuck very helpful!
thanks for sharing!
Great video. Thanks buddy. 👍
I use trees supports for everything but this looks handy.
Thanks Chep. 👍🏻
I really hope this comes to more slicers like prusaslicer. This is dope.
That. Is. Awesome.
awesome video thank you
With tree you need to use 'build plat only' under support placement. Then it wont go on the model, it will only place supports directly on the build plate. The tree would have been 10 min faster.
Yeah, my mistake. But the point was to show other support options when you may need it.
@@FilamentFriday I think this is a good excuse to just do an updated video on supports. Seems to me tree is the right way to go in most cases in terms of time, material cost, and energy. Even here with the correct setting for build plate it likely would have been more than even the 10 min faster shown. I think steering people away from tree here costs them time, material, and energy so worth a correction. Not trying to be a dink, I'm here because I like your channel, but this case is worth helping your audience with a correction. Also, tree supports seem to release the best too, with that spaghetti top they have...hope you will take this in the helpful spirit it was intended.
@@ThePhilbox never used other supports than tree. Actually I'm curious about regular supports :))
@@ThePhilbox have you got any tips/settings for Tree supports, I use them often, but I have a high failure rate compared to normal supports
@@SniperMechanics humm fail from coming loose? have you tried brim for them? it fills the inside of the structure. try it out, maybe up the tree infill a bit too.
Very nive video. Thank you very much!!!
This is great! Subbed.
Hey Chuck! I thought you might be interested a easy trick I learned this week for getting better bridging on almost any print by just changing one slicer setting. In cura, set "Top/Bottom Line Directions" to "[60,105,150,15]".
This will rotate the top/bottom layers by 15 degrees, which can significantly shorten long bridges, and make supports less necessary or even sometimes allow them to be omitted if both sides are already supported. (This works because most models are designed with either 90 or 45 degree angles)
Yes, I’ve played with that in previous videos. It’s a great option. Thanks for mentioning it.
I didn't even know about the tree supports, must have missed that one. These are great!
Tree supports are AWESOME!
Thank you for reminding me I had this LOL
👍 Thank-You! 👍
HOLY Crap this is what I"ve been looking for ...
Nice video. I find I do really good with tree supports if I add an extra wall. For some reason , on some prints, it gets a little flimsy with just one.
Ho ho ho ! So interesting !!! I run to try it !!!
have merry christmas chep and happy new year
Thanks Paul
The "Bridge" option is a really helpful function. But if your 3d object is a bit taller, the bridge is getting really huge. There should be an option available to edit the width of the legs to keep the bridge support as small as possibel. If you make the legs of the bridge-support smaller, the supported area is getting smaller as well.
what a great informativevideo thankyou from a felow printer
amazing!
I like these options. I will have to try this. Thanks. I am wondering what the X pattern is for the few layers before touching the print. I've never seen that. What setting is that? I'm having trouble with Nylon and Carbon Fiber Nylon supports adhering to the part way too much, maybe that would help?
Couldn't you use the Cura option Support->Support Placement->Touching Buildplate to use tree supports that won't touch the model?
Yes, that is an option as well to prevent that.
It looks like the latest version of Cura doesn't have the "Type" option with the plugin. Unless I am just blind or missed an additional plugin. I only have the 6 initial shapes, even though the plugin description lists the ability to choose.
Watching your video and it's been a great help. A question I have is how do you get the support interface to be the "x" or cross?
I just love getting 3d printing tips from Silvester Stallone 😅
Wow, hugely useful info, sub'd.
CHEP, thanks for the informative video! Do you have a video teaching how to adjust settings in CURA to be able to print a bridge that long with only one support in the middle? My filament simply falls down and the entire print fails.
Thank you for this video!!! I am printing a Spider-Man mask for a customer and I need to print it hollow. This will save me a ton of time. I will let you know how much when the project is finished.
Great tip on custom supports! Now if only we could change the infill percentage of them. I gather they take the same infill from the Main setting.
Yes they do
hopeful similar features come to prusa/superslicer in the future. I just cannot get comfortable in cura's UI, it feels like it's fighting me lol
Yeah I feel the same. Cura feels so unresponsive and kinda confusing.
Seriously! So rich and features, yet so counter intuitive on a fundamental level. Running super slicer atm
Something I found by accident. When placing your custom support you can scale small model way up. Place your support then scale it back down. The support scales also. Makes easier to place supports on small features
its been years since i have used cura because i switched to ideamaker, but now i have verison 4.13.1 and i want to try and perfect my prints and give cura another go. I will be wathcing your videos on custom supports and how to make better prints. i have a tevo tornado and a home built prusa I3 i built myself haha
can I use a 0.6mm nozzle with the setup that I would have to change thank you very much the setup you are doing is really very very good and it works 100% thank you again
Hello Chuck I did everything you said but the supports did not print out and the model was stringy around the print. but the support shows in cura please help. Awesome video and helpful advice keep it up.
Not sure if you've done this or not but im trying to make a small bottle but having trouble with the the bottom of the thread they are coming out with what looks like loops.
how do you 3D print a nice clean thread?
Hi Chick, real new to 3D printing. Can you maybe give me some suggestions on how to get better printing when printing a part where the part does not have a support. I am getting filament lines under the part. Is this heat of to fast or slow? I did add the plugins and really cool, so much to learn... Dave...
When you are using tree supports, keep an eye on support placement - touching baseplate would have avoided the initial tree support issue.
Do you know if I can use standard supports for most of my print but custom supports for a small section?
Awesome video, is there any time soon to update non creality printers cura profiles?
Thanks
Just use a Creality machine profile and modify it to fit your printer then use my latest profile.
Nice
Could use tree only touching buildplate for similar results and potentially less waste
Do you have plans to offer a profile for the CR6-SE? I know the Ender3 profiles work well for that machine, HOWEVER, it reduces my available printing bed when I use the Ender 3 profiles for the CR6SE
cheers Chep.. The Arch Buttress IS Great BUT How can u make the top of the support Wider?
Change the width like an stl file.
Great video mate, one question i have, lets say you have a print that needs support 400mm above the print bed, could you get a custom support working off the side of the print but closer to the top like the bridge? similar to your bridge test but assuming you wanted to only have it running at 45 degs from your vertical posts
Not that I know of.
Do you have a video or resource on how to set a print at a 45 degree angle and use tree supports?
Hey, how to make so you get this infill like design at the top of the support? Im having trouble where the side with supports looks really bad and isnt melted together at all
Do they wrap around the sides?
Cool
Thanks for this Chuck, have they fixed the issue with machine profiles in the settings a your previous post?
It was an issue with my machine not cura
I think you oriented wrong the cross support. I would get each arm of the cross under the square (or corner of the model) so when the hotend moves in other direction, that stress point have support. It takes more plastic, but I think it makes a better job. You could see as the hotend bridging from one point to another on a straight path (with the cross oriented as an x) or the hottend bridging and making an square turn in the middle of the path (with the cross oriented like +). Loved the video, thanks.
how do you get the purple mesh between the supports?
It would be cool if people could use different supports within the same models.
Sometimes I notice that tree supports are best for the outer surface, but internal geometry just works much better with zigzag or lines.
If I could somwhow use both support types on the same model, it would be amazing
And is there a video by you on how to optimally dial in supports?
I often print models where the removal of the internal supports is very hard and I don’t know to to make this easier on myself
My profiles have my settings. I think I covered them but can’t remember which video. You can mix supports. Just check the box and see the mess it creates ;)
I wish I could get the "it just works" of superslicer with the modularity of cura.
I've got to try this, thanks. But, I've been using tree supports for most of my stuff, but since I upgraded to Cura 4.12.1, they aren't coming out right. I get gaps in the support bodies, and sometimes, one or more of the supports are completely missing. Once, it didn't start printing the support until it was about an inch off the bed.
Any ideas (anyone) what might be causing this, or how to fix it?
