You’ll want to use this window anytime you want to customize your support material. So let’s go back to the interface, and open the support generation window by going to Tools, Customize Support, or by clicking the icon on the right toolbar. But one of the great features of Simplif圓D is that you are able to fully customize your support structures. So with one click, you’ve got supports and you’d be ready to go. Also, let’s change the preview coloring to Feature Type, which will show us each component of our print in a different color.
Let’s generate a preview to see how these supports will be constructed. When you do this, the software will automatically add supports to the selected model based on the stock settings from your printer profile. Simplif圓D makes this easy: Just open the process settings and click the checkbox next to Generate Support. Let’s take a look at how to add supports to this Hulk piggy bank model. We’re going to walk through the different ways to create and modify these support structures. To help with this, we add breakaway support structures so these layers aren’t printing over thin air, and then throw them away when we’re done. Because the part is printed layer by layer, when we print the bottom of Hulk’s arms or his chin there are no layers below it to support it. Supports are used to help construct models with overhangs or features that aren’t supported from below.
