Is there a way to stabilize high often thin parts with a small footprint in the slicer? we use the bambulab p1p for the design validation of profiles (2d designs simply extruded in height/Z dimension) but, because of the high accelaration and vibration of the printer and instability of some the parts, prints fail often. Is there a way to generate support alongside walls (small markings are ok) instead of underneath overhangs? similar to the wall stabilizers in grabcad?
Support painting might be the best for what you’re asking but there might be other methods too.
You could try printing flat with no support, slightly tilting to allow the slicer to auto generate supports, or adding a brim. The only other method I can think of would be to draw in a structure to build alongside your build to hold it vertical.
Thanks for the quick answer, I tried painting in the support, but that didn’t seem to work on vertical walls. I’ve added a large brim, but still, higher up the vibrations caused to much movement on the part. Drawing in a support structure (thin wall) just touching the profile also didn’t always work, but gave indeed the best results, cutting away the support proved rather difficult then . best would be having a support tower just next to the part, only touching te part on 1 layer thickness every few layers (as with the wall stabilizer feature described in the link) however that proved hard to do by drawing something out in CAD, as is was hard to “trick” the slicer that way. having such a feature in the slicer, controlling each individual layer shouls give a better result. I guess "painting " the touch surface for the support and having the xy gap set to 0 could do the trick, but as said, can’t get it to work on vertical walls. (or am i missing something? slightly tilting the part doesn’t really give the desired result, as i still want the layers perpendicular to the profile extrusion direction.
