I’m trying to slice an oloid shape, which has only line or point contact with the build plate no matter how it’s oriented. When I let the program place the support, it only uses a single line or point contact support, which is entirely inadequate. How can I get the program to add more adequate support?
I don’t have my printer yet, but I’m, trying to learn how to use the slicer now, before the printer arrives.
Oloid wireframe Rhino solid.3mf (925.8 KB)
I see this is probably in the wrong place, I’ll move it to the “Studio” section.
I highly recommend the Bambu Lab Academy Courses. They cover your printer, Studio, Handy App, and Filament. Builds a solid foundation which to build upon.
This is what it looks like when I slice your file in Bambu Studio.
Support looks good to me.
I assume you have (or are ordering) PVA as support
There are settings that I would question, but I assume this is just a model for slicing experimentation.
PVA is a good support material, but it seems to be painted as a color on the model, not as painted support.
Random seams will leave “zits” all over the surface. Aligned seams will be mostly hidden on a sharp edge.
There is rarely a need for 60% infill, especially with a high wall count.
Is there a purpose for the pause at layer 92?
Rather than attempt to balance the model on a point, I would probably let Studio auto-orient the model, which lets it rest on a line. Normal (Auto), Snug supports seem to use the least support filament.
