Can you make custom supports in Cura?
To add that bit of freedom into Cura, there’s a plug-in called Custom Supports by Krasimir Stefanov. You can download and install it at no charge from Cura Marketplace. However, if you’d like to know a way to add custom supports without a plug-in, please refer to the final section.
Does ChiTuBox generate support?
Supports are used with almost all resin prints, even those directly attached to the build plate because a majority of models have free-floating parts. While some diehard SLA printing enthusiasts may want to create their supports manually, software like ChiTuBox can automatically generate supports for 80+ SLA printers.
What is Z lift height in ChiTuBox?
Z lift height is the distance between 3D model and build plate. To adjust Z lift height for 3D model, it will not be printed directly on the platform but on supports and raft.
How is support material printed for an overhang?
A break away support material is printed underneath the area where the overhang will be, just like a soluble material. However, unlike a soluble material, once printing has finished and the object has cooled, the breakaway material simply and cleanly snaps off the object, leaving the difficult overhang intact.

What’s the difference between all overhangs and no support?
The model on the left has support everywhere, while the model on the right has support on the build plate only The overhang angle influences how much support material is added. A smaller angle leads to more support. For example, at a value of 0° all overhangs are supported, while at 90° no support material is added.
What should the overhang angle be on an Ultimaker?
The red areas indicate the overhang area that needs support. The model in the middle has an overhang angle of 70°, while the model on the right has an overhang angle of 45° There are different patterns available for printing support structures, resulting in sturdy or easy to remove support.
Is the right arm an overhang or a support?
The right arm is an overhang, but the pillows act as a support. Likewise, the left leg is another overhang, but this time the bunched toga underneath does the necessary supporting. The point is, with careful design, support for overhangs can be incorporated into an object in such a way that it doesn’t look like support.
