How to ensure support is easily removable?

When i was printing with my Ender 3 S1 pro and sliced with Cura, The supports were easier to remove and caused much less scars. Idk if this is due to Cura vs BS/OS defaults or Printers specs.

After I had difficulty with my first prints with P1S, I found the solutions stated above. It really helped a lot.

Another contributing factor i assume is the speed of BL. Especially for smaller models nozzle starts to print the next layer while the layer below is not cooled enough. As it is cold here and there are lots of drafts i keep the door closed. I realized that if i open the door for a few minutes and cool the chamber a bit before printer starts to print over the interface layer, the supports come out much easily. When the door is closed even 100% fans are not sufficient.

Yes, that should be better. The tree trunk and branches must be strong enough but the model interface must be weak.

I think that both Cura and Bambu Lab Studio, as well as Orca Slicer are open source, so it should be possible to learn from each other…

By the way, have you tried the “tree slim” option in Orca? I do not like their recommendation of 0 top z-distance since this leaves irregularities on the (underside of the) model.

Here is another, small but chalenging, model to print, It it is quite delicate and does require support. I include one of the 3mf’s with which I have been trying to print it, so far not completely succesful…

Best result so far with the Strength profile combined with tree support and 0.30 support linewidth. The thing with small delicate designs is that the support must be enough weaker than the model in order not to break the model when removing the support.
