Don't Forget To Support Your Print

Don't Forget To Support Your Print

Dec 23, 2020

Hello Everyone,

This time we might face new difficulties and problems in the middle of printing. One of the main problems is printing without using adhesive. Adhesive mostly supports your design while printing from the beginning to the end and helps a nice heat distribution at the bottom of the part.

Even if you use the heated bed, the thin surfaces (mostly PLA material) get cold very fast and lose some volume. Therefore, some corners become thinner significantly and then leave their printed place. This dislocation surely changes the axis and causes a bad print surface or makes the printing impossible. 

In this case, adhesive starts to support the print and prevents possible dislocations. It only uses very few of the filaments (maybe 1 or 2 grams). It can be clicked on the slicer program as I used on "Cura".
