I was using version 0.9.9 and recently switch to 1.29. My biggest issue is mastering the support settings, I expect to have to do some work, but in some cases its a real pain, does anybody have settings they have found good to weaken the bond of the supports. Thanks.
Which slicer??? There are tons of them out there...
I've had to use supports twice - both for sliding battery cover replacements.
I just could not get either the auto generated supports or the custom placed ones to work from simplify3d.
In the end I just made my own and incorporated them into the design.
I left a gap the same height as the layer print - 0.2mm. Makes them really easy to remove but effective as supports.
Other than that I just design for things to print without supports - makes life a lot easier.
sorry I was referring to Sli3r
considering the support structure when you design it should be the best choice
I found this video useful, when I was learning how to use a slicer, even though you are using Slic3r, and this video is for SelfCAD, I still think you will find it helpful as I did.
