In today's video we take a look at custom supports in PrusaSlicer with their Paint-On-Supports. They are a completely different way of applying support and enforcers or blockers than we covered in Cura in 2020. I really enjoy this style of supports and we will go over what they are, the different options, and how to use them.

Good stuff! I find the circle option useful for less organic models where I want to be more precise when placing supports along a sharp edge or corner. I just rotate the view to hide the top and side portions and you get a nice clean line along the edge. Thanks for covering the details on all of the options. It's really helpful. I'll be sharing this as one to watch for others to learn how paint on supports work.
Love paint on supports. Great video on this, been using paint on supports for quite a while now and I still learned something new.
Awesome to hear. I have been using them quite a bit. I feel like I almost use the blockers as much as the adding of them. I like both parts depending on what the model is!
This was super useful and I had no idea you could do this. I like prusa better than the other slicers I’ve tried but didn’t always like the supports it generates. This solves that. Thank you.
Same here
That is INCREDIBLY powerful. Looks a hell of a lot faster than trying to do the same 'style' of support editing in Cura.
Great video.
But Cura does tree supports so it completely misses your model.
A great overview and tutorial - very clear and straight forward
Great Video. Best one yet. Prusa auto supports seem a little heavy handed at times and sometimes very hard to remove. This is a nice option to have and make it easier to remove the supports.
Great walkthrough of the process/program
I love PrusaSlicer (and Idearmaker) 👍😀
This was really helpful actually! Nice job!
Whaou !!!! It's the most advances tuto that I could watch onthe subject. Thank you very much this great and usefull tutorial !!!!!!
Within 3 minutes I got my answer, thanks
I find this triangles feature extremely useful for support clothes on action figures.
Very helpful. Thanks Man!!
This is so useful, thanks!
thanks, I'll be subscribing , keep up the good work
Thank you so much for this video, I just print failed last night because my supports setting was like a chaos…
Looks pretty damn useful. Hope the other slicers get something like this soon even if it's an addon.
I am honestly surprised that is not the case. They are so easy to use :)
Awesome demo thanks! Will use that
DO IT! They are seriously great.
I used the paint-on support feature just yesterday. I was printing a stylized elephant and the small tail needed more support than was auto generated. Worked great.
Yeah they are awesome. Great for a slight touch up like you described.
amazing explanation
This was great. I feel so informed now. Do you have a video that describes the auto supports feature in Prusia?
Thank you very much for the video, it was really helpful, I just missed the settings to know how to adjust when they are too close to the model (which what the thing I was looking for, but your vid enlighten me a lot). Do you have another video about the support settings? if not I thing that will be a very good second part for this video!
Thanks!
I really found your video useful! I actually tried doing this just a few hours ago before watching the video. Printing a clone trooper helmet and just needed to remove quite a bit of unnecessary support. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Fingers crossed! I know Uncle Jesse has a video on printing helmets upside down. If you are going to post process it something to consider. Otherwise no need as long as the roof doesnt cave in :p
@@ModBotArmy I may give that a try as well!
Smart fill is great for geometric models!
The clipping view is helpful to find islands that may not be supported.
Printing supports is pretty easy, I was hoping you would go more into the supports settings in the print settings, there's tons of things to customize just regarding supports
useful video thanks
Can I use this slicer if I have an Ender 3 v2?
I am new to this just got my printer a week ago, been using Cura so far but this looks a lot more convenient to use
Can you also do a video about the settings? This the much bigger pain point for me. The model looks just uggy or the support is too hard to remove at the end of the print
I finally have prusaslicer another go and I've hit a maddening issue with supports that I've never encountered in cura. Once i slice a model if i find i need to change the support settings, such as support angle, the setting in greyed out and i can't edit it. All i want is to change the angel from 50° to 30° but I'm unable to modify that setting unless i close the slicer, relaunch and load the model again and start from scratch. Can't i just slice, preview, modify settings and slice again like in cura?
i also need to have the model raised 8mm of the bed like i can in cura but prusaslicer seems intent on forcing it to stay directly on the bed. I've given up on fixing this though as everything I've read seems to indicate this is impossible.
what settings do you have set to support material
Are the supports done by the person that made the STL file? Or does Prusa slicer do all the supports? For example, if I flip the model does Prusa see this and do the supports automatically or does it just support as if the STL model wasn't flipped?
Supports are generated by slicer not stl. You can turn a print any way you want and the slicer will generate supports where it thinks they're needed.
I use paint on supports everyday! It makes life so much easier. I think cura tired to implement it but it was really buggy? Also, I didn't know about like half the features you showed! :P
Awesome. I often only use a fraction of the features for a certain tool so going over it in detail even helps me haha. Hmm I did not know that. It is very possible. The custom supports I used in Cura do work but they take me much longer to place all of the blocks.
Thank you! OMG, I didn't know about this. This will save so many of my prints... better than doing the everywhere versus the on plate only. But still bugs me the lack of tree supports on PrusaSlicer.
i wish prusa had tree supports
Which platform do you prefer for 3d printing, Apple or PC? I'm looking at getting a printer soon and I'm just wondering which you find easier. Thanks!
Tough to say. I was PC most of my 3d printing journey. I did not switch for 3d printing but rather video editing. I really like Apple for their FCPX software. Either is going to be fine. Most larger apps will be both but Cura for example definitely plays nicer with Windows.
@@ModBotArmy So I am not switching platforms, and I have zero interest in Chromebooks. With that said I have seen so many people with Chromebooks ask about slicers, it might be a good video idea. Chromebooks are cheap and they can run Linux apps, might make a good video idea. I am sure you have enough great video ideas, but if you ever get board/run out I dont think I have ever seen anyone cover this particular topic :)
yay, the paint on supports are decent, still prefer Ideamaker's supports though, they pop off easier and have really good custom control without a bunch of adjustments and crap to get there, the defaults work awesome.
Be good if we had something like this for resin printers
Where can we get the modbot robot? Sorry if this was mentioned somewhere. I'm just finding your channel.
Welcome! And no problem here is the link thangs.com/Modbot/ModBot-Robot-Supports-15067
@@ModBotArmy ooh... Thank you!
If only PrusaSlicer would add Cura-like FDM tree supports ... Paint-on supports are so great, but the fact that they still move straight down instead of trying to get away from the object still makes the Cura tree supports more useful in quite some cases ...
Yeah tree supports are pretty awesome. Almost magical how they are like vines reaching up to what you need supported.
They are already working on that. That will probably come in one of the next versions as well.
@@extrutim I really really really hope you are right ... Paint-on supports combined with FDM tree support (and maybe paint-on base spot control for those, i.e. where the "tree" is allowed to touch the object) could really be a game-changer, I think.
No Tree supports explanation?
How far behind PrusaSlicer is SuperSlicer?
Still have not dove into the world of SuperSlicer yet so I am not sure. That is a great question though.
Merci !
Hi, I wanted to give you some personnal feedback to help you grow. If you don't want thjese, then just don't read it ^^
I really love your video, except for one point ! Your intros, they always look extremely long and make the video feel extremely long too. It sometimes discourage me from watching the video because I feel like there will be a lot, where in this case, it's only an 11 min video.
I think if you were to make much shorter intros, like 30-60 second, your video wouuld get way more attractive and keep more the viewer's attention.
But that's my personnal take on this ! do whatever you want with this piece of information !
Feedback is always welcome especially if it is in the form of constructive criticism which this is. Something to consider. My retention has actually gone way up over the years compared to when I started out. I know the intros are long but I almost feel like they help shape the story or what is to come. I feel that without them the video has much less context. I would not be surprised if regular viewers do skip the intro in some cases which is totally fine. I definitely appreciate the feedback though and will keep it in mind :)
@@ModBotArmy maybe, something to try is to make 2 intros: one that is short and catchy, to grab the viewer's attention, then come your logo, with the song, and finally, the second intro, where you can give more context, this way your content stays the same, just in difference sequence's order
