I really wish this printer used a softer material that for support that is different from the model material. Maybe something that melts at only a little more than room temperature so I can melt it away afterwards rather than try snipping away with plyers and pretending it looks alright. lol.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>All I ever do is check the &#039;Generate support material&#039; box under /slicer config/print settings/support material, then make sure you have some values in the right pane... pattern=rectilinear pattern angle=0 pattern spacing=2.5mm .. I think this is what I use usually.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Is there any easy way to handle support material? Perhaps I am not using the software correctly, but between clicking the support check box and not, there doesn&#039;t appear to be any difference. Actually I&#039;m partial to printing Luke Skywalker&#039;s saber. I&#039;d like to make the blade out of glow in the dark plastic in time. <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></content>
