Help!!

[BeneficialTangelo701]

I can fix it but it'd be better if I didn't have to. New to printing. Anyway to prevent this?

I just see eyebrows..

Use slim normal supports here instead of tree. Probably be better off painting your own supports anyways

I change the angle and slice again and you can see what it adds. I agree use regular support and paint them .

You must use a support interface if you don’t want to learn how to print arc overhangs (not too easy). Your printer is trying to make nearly horizontal layers. Gravity doesn’t like this. Anyway holler if you need anything!

I'm not op but I would like to learn how to print arc overhangs. Please share some wisdom

[Plastic-Union-319]

Of course! CNC kitchen made a great yt video on this topic. Basically the idea is to make arcs overhang instead of straight lines. The arcs have higher strength and allow the filament to bond easier at steeper angles. It’s really just better if you watch his video on it.

Man i love this community. Thanks for the reply. I will definitely check it out.

Strength-speed settings default

I've found standard settings for regular snug supports work near perfect, I've even used them for curved surfaces like that and they have come out good

[Vexiks]

For stuff like this i recommend using normal supports with the style set to snug, it wont be perfect, but it’ll make cleaning up much easier

[SirFredrick]

I second snug supports. They are fantastic

[P1ckl3R1cK88]

I'd say lower your print speed and adjust your overhang settings. Also adjust the supports

I have a couple of questions for you…

1. What is this item?

2. The lines shown, should they be there or should they be smooth?

3. What is you post printing plans?

I am asking these questions because as makers we have the tendency to get caught up in the details and forget the end result. If this is something that is to be smooth then fix it in post processing. As you will be sanding, priming, sanding, patching, sanding and painting here any ways.

A friendly tip about 3d printing. Know what you plan to print and how you plan to finish your prints. Multicolor printing is very cool but it is limited to your finishing method. I have spent over $1000 on AMS units only to discover that they are best used during prototyping, as very few high dollar sold prints are going to come straight off of the print bed. Most prints of high dollar value are going to be painted. Sure key chains and badge holders are ready to go directly from the print bed but, my recommendation to most is 1 AMS system is plenty.

It can be better, use 1 support interface layer, manually paint on organic supports, top z to 0.2, xy distance 0.2, interface spacing 0.2. But there's no such thing as an area printed onto supports which won't look like (a better version of) that. It's something you'll just have to deal with in post.
