This video is about how you print great supports but print with less filament in Cura. You could waste so much filament on some prints due to all the supports needed. I go over how you print supports that print just as good as the ones you are printing now but better. Not only can they be better, but it also prints less filament. I calculated in this video with just the tiny amount we saved on the small example was a 1/3 of the support filament got removed. The results of the supports were just as strong and came off easier.
Once I go into how to save filament, I explain the exact opposite... Yeah, I know. This topic is about beefing up those tiny supports that stick up and sometimes break off.

Ha ha. Thanks man! I hope it helped with this pain of a topic.
Really valuable info! 😮
Thanks for all your hard work! 😊
Great video! I love the way you show and explain what you’re doing. Thank you.
Thanks. I hope it helped you!
Another excellent video, THANK you for your time, we all appreciate it more than you think
Thanks so much. I’m glad it could help you.
Another Fantastic tutorial.
Awesome glad to hear it!
Great video. Supports drive me crazy. Either they don't come off or if they do, the surface looks like crap. But this video and one of the others I have watched has given me a few ideas at least. Probably I need to create a test model to test different support settings.
Your not alone. Supports are a pain. But that’s the point of the video to teach you how to test and get perfect support for your printer. Good luck and happy printing!
Thanks for the help!
Great video, as always!! 👏👏👏😁😁😁
Thank you so much 😀glad you liked it!
thank you for educational video😘🌷🌷🌷
You are welcome.
Very informative subscribed
Thanks glad it was helpful!
@@ItsMeaDMaDe helpful doesn't even begin to describe how valuable the information you provide is, I have been printing for about 2 years and I'm just now learning what all those setting under support do and you just expanded my knowledge by double in less than 1 hour
@@thaboss7131 WOW! Thats amazing! I'm so glad you found me then. I'm even happier I was able to help you that much! Thanks so much for your comment!
I use tree supports universally since they take less time/filament, what would be the advantage to using standard supports with your optimisations over trees?
Two parts to my answer.
1. This series was really just focused on standard supports.
2. I didn’t cover this but I think the advantage is on a case by case basis. Tree supports are great. I used them but I have found it there are large areas that need supported standard gives me better results. You bring up a great topic and I’ll add it to my list to do some videos on the differences and which works better on different scenarios.
Thanks for this comment it truly brings up a good point that should be discussed.
Well since you're on supports. Could you talk about the x/y support spacing? Thanks in advance!
Sure thing! That is how close you allow your supports to get to your model. Higher number farther away lower number closer.
Can u make a video on vase printing in cura
not sure if you mentioned it but you didn't say anything about support x/y distance, i realized half way through testing that was my biggest issue being to close
Does this support technique work only on standard support or would it help tree supports?
I do believe it only works with standard supports
Using Cura 5.3. I am trying to adjust the bottom/top infill density and bottom/top floor distance, but they are grayed out. Cura says it's because other settinga have overwritten them. It mentions the mesh setting. But toggling that does nothing. What settings should I look at to make the density and floor diatances adjustable?
There are multiple settings that effect other settings. I would look at what the helper box says of what it’s effected by and start going through the list and reset the settings of those. It’s hard to know without seeing it.
I have a cat up in my tree. What support would you recommend for a 72 year old? Thanks
Well this only covers standard supports. There is something else called tree supports but I haven’t done any videos on those. This video is about things you can do to standard supports to print less filament.
I dont have conical supports option cura 5.0
They got rid of it? I’m not using 5 since it’s still in beta.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe I'll check 4.13 one sec
@@Github_tech_with_ty you might not have it to show in your settings. If you watch the video before this I go over how to get all settings to display.
They are there. Make sure you have enabled via Settings... Configure setting visibility...
Way down in the experimental area, easiest to search for "conical"
At the 1:57 mark you forgot to put a link th-cam.com/video/3WJAR9-waco/w-d-xo.html in the Upper Right Side. I believe it was the Remove Supports Roof & Floor
is it me or is the audio super low?
Tree with brim, zero infill, 2 walls, concentric, 90% top interface, interface gap at same as line height or 1.5x it... extra help in experimental, bridging settings, fans at max when bridging.... problem solved.

😂
I have a statue with way to many supports even if I use tree supports. Help? Lol
You sound like Todd Howard
