customs support is always my fist choice because it take less time to print and less time to remove (and less plastic).. so the model is always less 'damaged' but more time to 'think about it'...

for a difficult model like this one, the generated one do a good job if you do a good job as well for preparing the model (right position , and right geometry)...

it's the experience that said 'use this or that'.. try slic3r and kissclicer.. and look at the result in repetier-host..

but if it were me, I have changed the position of the starting model for a more easy one, which avoids in 95% of cases of  using a support... i hate support tongue

i hope it help you.. smile

prints looks amazing by the way ^_^

there are still some tweaking that we can make (mostly on the hair) but i work on juliet all my saturday and it's enough.. smile

you can see the picture just after the printing with all my supports... the support that suport the support ... and the support that support the support that support the support.. big_smile

i print it at half my usual speed... because of the support.. (too fast and the extruder break some supports when moving..)
i'm happy with the result.. a bit of sanding and she will be good looking

my homemade support do their job... all is well printed... with a support removing time of one (1) minute.

i put also a picture of 'homemade support result' vs ' automatic support result' ...

http://www.soliforum.com/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;item=1605&amp;download=1
what i can said, it's that the result is very dependant of the model and tweaking of the automatic support ...  there is a clear gain when you remove it.. it took me less than 2 minutes to remove and clean mine, vs near 20 minutes to clean the kissclicer one (a bit less for the slic3r one..) and this model was REALLY (i mean REALLY REALLY ! ) complicated to support..

i joined the stl if you want to try...
my own model wait for me wink

the STL is too heavy for the forum, you can download it here :
http://m20g2g.1fichier.com/en/

dont' use any raft, brim or support with this stl... all is in
sorry for the photos, the black filament is not photo-friendly...

now... who will made the chainsaw stl ? big_smile tongue

i already use poser pro and hexagon (try to print a poser/daz3d model and you will see that it's not a piece of cake..) .. the problem here is to transform a model that was made for a video game in a "printable" one

@nickythegreek
thanks.. it's just a question of time and tools .. 90% of sweat and 10 % of skill..

sure I'll put the model after I am happy with the result ..

teaser included ^^

for an example, this is her skirt before and after..(joined picture)

for a good print, you need enough thickness on all parts. This will help for a good support
this one was printed with internal support of kissclicer (more robust than the one of slic3r, but harder to remove..)
but in "L"' position instead of the previous one in "<" position (notice the difference ? wink )

now that i know that the model is clean without hole, i can work on making integrated support..

print quality looks great now, and I can't even see any burrs from the support material. very well done

all the clothes are ok.. the models is full... i just need to adjust fine details... the next one will be perfect.. as this one was not printed in the right position (i tested the quality of my 'skinning') .. its why the hands and face seem to be "burn" (too much heat in the wrong position)

the last picture is with an aceton brush to remove sanding step

in fact, it's overkill because with the model on 45 deg, we only need support for the skirt, hair, head,arms and hands.. not for the body or leg

I'm surprised that those plastic ribbins were enough to hold the model up.

it's not a great succes as i didn't do all i do for such a model when i print it for me...

the model by itself come well... but i didn,t put enough thickness in her clothes... (0.4mm...)

it's like a zombie eat all her clothes... (perhaps it's a hentai model ? wink )

now i know where are the points to check... the bad pixels win this battle... second round.. i will win the war...

the choice to print her at 45 deg is good.. i didn't clean her completely because the print is not good, but all is here : hand, hair, etc...
