Hi,
I’m totally new into 3D printer. At this moment I’m printing my first print :).
What I was wondering, if I design something that can’t be printed because you cant print in mid air, would Cura warn me? Or would it just start printing? Or would it auto add supporting material?
Thanks!
I don’t think Cura will warn you.
Adding support is an option : you have to select the support type in the slicer (default if none). Two modes are available : everywhere or touching bed.
Raby,
Have you had any luck with supports?
I tried about a year ago with my K8200
Things didn’t go so well?
Maybe I’m doing something wrong
I used it sometimes with my 8200 but I had to put the overhang threshold around 20-25% in Slic3r to get something usable.
It is easier with 2 heads as you can use one of the heads to print support with a PVA filament (water soluble).
I’m not sure that the 8400 can use PVA
I tried the in the 8200 just as a test.
That was a mess.
Lol
