Tips
- Remember to set the appropriate amount of bottom layers based on raft thickness! See Bottom & Transition Layers for more information.
- When printing extra large or tall models, you will need to increase your supports Diameter and Tip Diameter settings.
- There is no magic formula for support settings. Each resin is different, and different types of models require different supports. Use the suggested values above for a good place to start and make adjustments as needed.
