Support Advanced

Mode: Advanced.
Variables: support_interface_loop_pattern, max_bridge_length.

Z distance

Mode: Advanced.
Variables: support_top_z_distance, support_bottom_z_distance.
The Z gap between support interface and object.

Support wall loops

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: tree_support_wall_count.
This setting specifies the count of support walls in the range of [0,2]. 0 means auto.

Base Pattern

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_base_pattern.
Line pattern for the base of the support.

Base pattern spacing

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_base_pattern_spacing.
Spacing between support lines.

Pattern angle

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_angle.
Use this setting to rotate the support pattern on the horizontal plane.

Interface layers

Mode: Advanced.
Variables: support_interface_top_layers, support_interface_bottom_layers.
The number of interface layers.

Interface pattern

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_interface_pattern.
The pattern used for the support interface.

Interface spacing

Mode: Advanced.
Variables: support_interface_spacing, support_bottom_interface_spacing.
Spacing of interface lines. Zero means solid interface.

Normal support expansion

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_expansion.
Expand (+) or shrink (-) the horizontal span of normal support.

Support/object XY distance

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_object_xy_distance.
XY separation between an object and its support.

Support/object first layer gap

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: support_object_first_layer_gap.
XY separation between an object and its support at the first layer.

Don't support bridges

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: bridge_no_support.
Don't support the whole bridge area which make support very large. Bridges can usually be printed directly without support if not very long.

Independent support layer height

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: independent_support_layer_height.
Support layer uses layer height independent with object layer. This is to support customizing z-gap and save print time. This option will be invalid when the prime tower is enabled.
