In this video we take a look at how I use a custom support plugin in Cura to allow me to place supports only where I need them. This is such an awesome plugin that is very handy for times when Cura is not able to create supports exactly how you want them. After you watch this video you will be off and creating custom supports of your own!

![3D resin print supports [EASY GUIDE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MU0Cq_bjhy4/mqdefault.jpg)
This is exactly what i needed and straight to the point and very clear instructions thank you so much!
Thank you! I found several plugins that I can use. Never even thought of checking out the Marketplace because I thought it was just going to be unrelated stuff for sale. Custom supports looks like exactly what I needed for a project I'm working on. Wish I'd seen your video sooner!
This is an awesome add-on for an already wonderful slicer! Thanks for the tutorial.
dude that's awesome!! I printed a figurine recently and it looked JUST like your example with the supports EVERYWHERE, and was impossible to un-case the figurine from the supports. This custom plugin will be SO much more useful!!
Just as I was searching this up you uploaded what I wanted just some days ago, thank you!
this is one of those things you simply MUST have in your bag of tricks... something in everyones Arsenal of 3d knowledge ... im almost into my second week of being a printer owner and im absorbing SO much my head is going to pop.. but even with all the troubles.. IM loving it and already planing on buying my second printer . :D this will only encourage me to do so sooner than later
great video.
You can also change the support angle. If you increase the angle closer to 90 degrees the support will only form under angles that are greater than that number. This custom support plug in is also a good tool to have for some situations
Awesome video. Your channel is so underrated, you’ve helped me more than many of the other youtubers
After a brutal cleanup yesterday , thank you so much for this video
I just started 3d printing and printing everything I can get my hands on to see what it can do.. this will definitely make my prints faster and easier to clean up
Wow superb video thank you, I have steered away from supports for ages and ive just done my first print with supports thats ever worked properly after watching your video :)
This is probably one of the most usefull videos. I never realized to go to the marketplace to look for add ons like this that are ultra helpful. Just an idea for ya, you should do a video dedicated to marketplace add-ons that are handy to have. I never would have known this existed and I'm sure theres alot of others who don't either. If theres any add-ons you advise I'd love to know about em. Great video man
If I only found this video a couple hours earlier it would have saved me so much time a olastic on my current print. Thank you for this tip
Another great little nugget of printing info.....keep em coming!!
Thank you so much for the tips and all, I was having a hard time printing a model, now I can do it, thanks :)
I have been looking for ages this week for supports At least I know it's in the marketplace now, and cheers... video still relevant now!!
Looking forward to trying this! Thank you for the tip!
Great video. I was actually looking for this. I forgot it's a plugin
perfect video thanks. got my miniPC bracket printed perfectly.
DUDE! This video was WICKED helpful. Thanks so much for posting it.
I didn't even know how to turn on supports. This will help me a ton. Thanks!
Awesome happy to help :)
I cannot find Custom Supports on Marketplace...
me neither
same
Just what I was looking for, cheers buddy
You can also turn up the support required angle- in the video you have it set to 45°, you could set it a little higher.
exactly what i need, explained perfectly. thankyou so much!
Dude, seriously. Thank you so much. This is a time/money saver. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This answered my questions about custom supports. Thanks.
OMG! Thankyou!!! I have want to print a certain item I have been developing and had so much issue getting out the supports. I will be able to make it how I want!
I used "tree supports" for the first time, on my last print. They went well, it engulfed the print, a pair of scissors made short work of it!
spent 2 and a half hours printing smth the print broke before the suports lol
Support Interface is where the magic happens
Thank you, I was just using Creality slicer that was with the printer, this is a game changer for me for sure.
Awesome happy to hear that this video was helpful :) thank you for the feedback
Check out prusa slicer or super slicer
Excellent video i am new to 3D printing and this video was so easy to understand and not to long excellent work ,you have an new follower
Thank you, that was extremely concise and informative!!
You should also look into tree supports under experimental. They're super cool.
The same app is available in the Creality Slicer, thank goodness. I have a Creality printer, so learned using the Creality Slicer, so this was extremely helpful. I just printed my 3rd figure and spent 30 minutes trying to take off all the "everywhere" supports and ended up damaging one arm and even tearing the figure off it's base. With the cylindrical supports, I have been able to eliminate 90% of the supports and all of the ones under the legs that were so hard to get out!
Awesome video! I'm new to this hobby and it is a big help. Thanks
hey man, I really want to thank you for this, I've wasted so much material and time on horrible prints that snap with a little force, because of the huge supports. Now I can finally print without wasting 600-700 grams on large prints. This video may be a year old, but god damn did this help me.
If I’m correct you don’t have to scale the box that big. For my test cura generated supports all the way down even if I only put one little block
Yeah, you can take advantage of bridging to get less support, and it'll be much faster too.
Thank you for this incredibly useful video!
This video was very helpful! Thank you very much!
Great find in Cura
Thanks for sharing 👍😁
Thanks for the feedback!
Saved 10 grams and 2.5 hours on my print 27% time savings with this method. Thanks
Thanks for this video, i was trying to do customs supports all wrong lol :p now i just wish there were more shape options for the custom support
Thanks so much! Great quick tutorial!
Thank you i've been fighting with the supports for a while on this print i was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my supports were not printing correctly!
Massive massive help thank you
Life saver!!! thanks bro!
the tree supports in the experimental section really work well and easy to remove i never use these supports anymore
Yeah, old post, but just came here. Using it for "all" overhangs?
Thank you for your service
Really valuable info! ✅️
Thank you for this tip and the video.
Thank you man! Very usefull! Subscribed!
Your explanations are crystal clear. Good job. I am more using Prusa Slicer because I was using original Sli3er. There are equivalent features.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙏
Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for the info I appreciate it.
does this plugin still exist in cura 5 ? cant seems to find in the marketplace
Most impactful 3D printing video for me to date lol. Supports are so confusing for me
Awesome. I just been upgraded!
Super helpful! Thanks
when i look up the plug in in the latest version of CURA it doesn't show up.
thank you! most excellent!
Excellent informative video! Very valuable information. Thank you. If you could do a similar video on using tree supports, it would be great as well. I wondered if you need to do the same thing with tree supports where you state that you check 'generate supports' adjust the setting then un-check it before printing.
It seems that there is quite a bit of interest in tree supports. I will definitely be playing around with them and revisiting to provide feedback.
Custom supports are very useful. I have some models that require printing cylinders on their sides. It's still challenging to get a good result and drilling out the supports is a pain. I'm using 10% infill for the supports. I'm using an FDM printer and it appears that a resin printer would still have the same issue with supports. A IDEX printer with water soluble supports might be the best choice.
awesome and helpful video. thanks
thanks im trying it now
its not there
You told me very well, my friend. thank you. 👍🇹🇷
Can you rotate the supports? I assume you can since scaling and moving were available. If so then just rotate it so it extends to the print bed. Keeps the lower part of the leg clean.
Great video!!
I'm trying to print a DnD character that is like 2" .. so difficult trying to remove auto supports, breaks the little arms and characters under skirt is impossible to remove. Thanks for this info hopefully it works better.
you have no idea how much you just helped me mr ModBot, you just earned yourself a new subscriber, thank you so much, love from Colombia
thank you. have you used the cylindrical custom supports plugin? it's also in the marketplace plugins.
try tree supports - i think they are still experimental in cura but in this case the supports could have started at the buildplatform. it has the same issues with regular supports though - you need blockers. But it's also easier to remove.
I didn't know this! Thanks
Hope you had a good day off bro :)
You beautiful man, subbed 🤣
Had I found this sooner I'd have saved a good half day on a VAWT print (they get wibbly at the top...😅)
I’ve never saved a video so fast in my life
amazing video!
using g-code:
do you know a way to turn off the bed temperature down or turn off after let say 1 hour or 2 hours or 1 day and then turn on if i need it?
i have a bending problem and this comes from the bed temperature and the fan on my chiron.
i will appreciate any help. thanks!
Thanks great info
Awesome tutorial Dan, I also tilt the model 45 and add supports then reorient the model back to 0, and this way i use even less supports.
Interesting, sort of like what I would do on a resin printer. Thanks for the tip that is a great idea!
great video thanks!!
Great video
Thank you great idea.
nice video, I believe you only need to place it under where you want it, and Cura will project it down to the base on it's own, that's the impression from CHEPs video on the subject
Yes, that's how it works for me. Also this is available in other versions of cura.
Dude I love it! Liked and subbed, but what I really wanna know is WHERE can I get that Ryuk STL at? Maaaaaan that's cool, me and my buddy love us some Death Note! Would love to print this!
Thank you!
Did you try to use Tree supports at all for printing this? Ive been printing busts with Cura and Tree Supports have been a life saver for me.
I like ideamaker more when it comes to that. You can auto gen supports before you slice and then delete them where its unnecessary or add a few more custom supports in a similar fashion. Then you slice it
good video! But wouldnt it be way more efficient to use Curas Tree support for something like that?!
as someone fairly new to this, how would i know if im doing it correctly for a long ass print? should i try small prints? what about the red zones below the hair and stuff like that that i often see in my models?
Gonna have to get me some PVA. I just got a qidi x-pro. Has duel extrusion. It’s $500+ printer. Got for $80 on a auction brand new!!
Thanks for the video! One thing I am struggling with regarding supports is the connection between the support and the workpiece. Either they are fused together so the removing the supports leaves an ugly underside, or they are so far apart that you wonder what the support is supporting at all.
This is a fact. It is definitely a bit of trial and error get as close as you can to the sweet point. I have had PLENTY of experience with welded supports.
Just curious...what z top clearance from your model do you use for your supports.?
Thanks I love it :)
Im assuming you can rotate that support block as well?
thank you! I was just removing the supports from a print. and got down to the last piece....and it damaged my print coming out. with this they dont need to be so robust.
I've tried 'custom supports' and it keeps pushing up my model when I try to set to the base what's going on there? Also it extends through the part as well, is there so,e trick to using custom supports? Thanks
Bro I love Cusom support
Hello, Do you have a video showing how to remove the supports cleanly? Thank you for this video it helped.
So I print the little Groku statue that is on Thingverse and it had supports built in the gcode file. My brand new CR10 pro v2 ( my first 3d printer) printed what I assumed were the bases for the supports, but the somewhere during the print, the supports just turned to strings spewed out of the nozzle. Thankfully the small statue still printed fine without the aid of the supports, but I'm concerned for the nest time I actually need them. Any thoughts?
thanks a lot!
