Support Settings Recommendations

What Support Settings are people having luck with in SnapOrca? I love Support for x filament but with only 4 heads that will often be difficult to incorporate…

If you want to use a specific material as support, just install the filament and select it here before slicing.

No, sorry, I meant that I do like a specific material; however, with only 4 tool heads I most likely won’t use a specific Support for material.

Therefore, I’m looking for the best settings for the material being used to print with.

Hope that makes sense.

I think the default support setting will mix support materials up so the next layer active toolhead prints support.

It depends… What setting? .2 .16 .12?

Personally, with what I print, I use organic tree settings, build plate only, Top Z distance .25, sometimes I’ll change the layers from 2 to 3 but not very often.

That’s for .2

Otherwise my top Z distance is always raised by an increment of .5

So for .16 its set at .21

These are literally the only things I change for most things that “I” print… Supports come off like butter and work every time.

Anytime!

Also, if I ever think I’ll have issues with really tall supports I’ll increase the “First Layer Expansion” to 5 or 7mm. It gives the support a wider base and makes it a little stronger on the build plate.
