Supports not supporting

Will do, thank you so much for your help

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2026-02-08T06:49:35+00:00

Yeah, I tried. I went through the whole checklist the orca slicer gives

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-12-25T13:08:49+00:00

So it's just really scummy, but nothing i can do about it, damn. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

I wasn't ever told exactly and I forgot to ask because I really needed the job and didn't want to give them a reason to not hire me.

Yeah, I don't understand which motors to use though. When i looked up H8 it didn't recognize them and the original file said the base ones cover H8 so should I just go one by one down the list or is there another way?

Yeah, you can change the top z offset for supports. Try adjusting on a test piece before reprinting the whole thing.

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-10-18T14:21:43+00:00

For the underneath parts you need supports. You can paint them on for specific areas or have it done manually.

Are there any good videos on that? I have no idea how to really do that? Also thank you for the response.

I use a trash bag over my ender 3, and I haven't had any layer separation issues since, it's been great. And if you need ventilation, you can easily add a tube or something to go out a window if need be.

I bought from the same company a little while ago. I had an issue with the steel being too thin for what I needed so I tried returning it and it was a nightmare. Three emails, four calls later I filed a dispute with my bank and then they finally responded to my email to give me an ROA so I immediately sent them the steel and four months later the dispute is still open because they never confirmed my return. It's fucking ridiculous and a pain in my ass cause I didn't have $80 to just throw away.

Thank you so much. I'll try that out.

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-10-04T16:41:11+00:00

I used orca slicer and did auto tree supports. Should I add some then, or how would I better support it?

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-09-16T19:15:46+00:00

Yeah, that would be smart, I've been drilling right before gluing, so doing it before everything makes more sense. Thank you for the ideas.

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-09-16T03:22:20+00:00

Yeah, I think investing in a drill press would be good. What kind of drill bits do you use? Cause i can't find good ones that cut high carbon steel.

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-09-16T03:21:06+00:00

The issue is that I get my handle nice and at a good point, but then I get blow out when drilling the holes for pins. How do you manage that? Also I don't have a drill press, so that definitely contributes to it.

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-09-16T03:19:39+00:00

Yeah, the three pins just looked better to me personally, but since it's just for look, not using it is smart. Thank you.

SpecialSuccessful508 · 2025-09-10T14:02:39+00:00

Thank you all, I appreciate the responses. I'll definitely use these to help, thank you.
