Auto-Generate Supports
The supports are automatically generated with optimal dimensions for your printed parts based on material and part geometry.
To auto-generate the supports for your model:
1. Press the icon on the left Toolbar.
→ The dialog box opens.
2. Press Generate for Selected.
→ Supports are added to the selected mode.
Basic Settings
Tip thickness: Defines the thickness of the cone tip at the upper and lower end of the support beam. Support thickness: Defines the thickness of the entire support beam. Support spacing: Defines the distance between the support beams. Flat to platform: When enabled, this option ensures that the model is built without supports and baseplate. Height from platform: Defines the height of the support structures. |

Advanced Settings
Clearance from part: Determines the required distance between each beam and the adjacent surface of the model. Only from platform: When enabled, this parameter indicates that support structures must attach to the platform only. The model-to-model support structures are not built. Reinf. Spacing: Determines the allowable distance between the reinforcing cross bars. Max. Angle: Determines the maximum angle between the model and the build platform from which supports will be built. Critical Angle: Identifies the area where supports are most essential for stability and structure, requiring the greatest attention. Critical Angle Coefficient: Automatically adjusts support structures by calculating the Tip Thickness For Critical Area and Support Thickness For Critical Area. Max. Height: Specifies the maximum height of supports for the model structure above the build platform. |

Base Settings
Decide whether you want to include the base for the models. For that, check the parameters in the BASE SETTINGS section of the Supports and Base widget.
None: No base is created for the model(s) on the platform. This option is automatically set in the Base Type drop-down when the Flat to platform option is enabled in the Basic Settings menu. Baseplate: A model and its supports are built on the baseplate. Fence: The fences are built between neighboring support beams to ensure more stability for support structures. |
