Advanced Support Settings are not functioning properly

The H2D has been out for some time. So it stands to reason that dual material support settings should be solid. They are anything but. Guys it is time to fix the advanced support settings. Half the support settings are COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE in one way or another. Base pattern=Lightning. Nothing. Top Layers=0. NOTHING. Bottom interface layers = 0. NOTHING.

Request: We need different values for XY distance on supports vs the interface layers. I need zero XY gap on the interface material layers and a reasonable non-zero gap on the support structure so that it does not stick to the wall of the part everywhere else. Now that you have a dual nozzle machine this setting is ESSENTIAL.

And while we are here… the documentation on several parameters does not exist. What is vertical shell speed? nothing on the internet knows, and changing the value has no visible effect on the “vertical shell”. The state of the wiki is a slap in the face. page after page of broken/ half baked info.

I used to just accept that bambu studio would be a little behind the whale slicer, but it worked well. But this is approaching unacceptable levels of neglect in my opinion.

Bumping this thread. I always having issues trying to print stuff with 0.2mm. Might as well use a 3D pen and manually add support myself every layer.

If BL to block out slicers like Orca, at least try to make it work as well.

Agree with the OP. Having the H2D specifically for this method of printing I need to have more accurate info and working options. Even using AI to try and find answers to some of the core aspects mentioned leads to utterly incorrect outcomes (even after asking AI to correct itself). This is largely reflective of the complete lack of official information.

One work around for many bizarre support generated items on Normal supports is to switch to “snug” mode. For some reason this mode is far less buggy. That does not change that the support settings are in dire need of attention.
