#Optimal Supports?

fellow rookie here, and i use a FDM printer rather then resin, but have you tried using "tree" supports for it and see if it needs stuff/time?
ah, that prompts the question.. tree supports?
hmm, your version of cura is differnt then mine, but undr "support structure" you can change "normal" to "tree", it might be that resin printers cannot do that?
have you also done an overhang test to dial in how much you can get away with on angle?
I have not, only two test prints i've done are the toaster & boat
should... probably do that lmfao
you can find something like this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1564848
on things and work out how far you can push your supports.
This is an object in 4 versions to test the maximal possible overhang angle which you can properly print with your printer.
Choose on test object and print it with different angles (0-90-180-270) around the z-axis to check how much the maximal overhang angle depends on your object cooling.
The objects have angles from 30-75, 30-80, 30-85 and 55-...
Ohhhhhh okok! thank you so much!
again, rookie too my self so take any advice with a grain of salt. i'd also say if its a large/long print it give your print wiggle room on angles, as in not pushing it as far as you can

I think he is using creality slicer
ahh. fair, i had used an older verson of cura that looked /sorta/ simlaur. ty ❤️
