Full transcript

1. 0:00what you want to do when you're printing
2. 0:01a part like this is not actually print
3. 0:03it flat or vertical you want to print it
4. 0:06diagonally now this is not very easy to
5. 0:08do because now the center of mass is
6. 0:10over not the center of the touch point
7. 0:13on the print bed so you have to have
8. 0:14support back here but you don't want to
9. 0:16have that be autogenerated support
10. 0:18because it ends up creating a lot more
11. 0:19material and not always being very
12. 0:21reliable so you have to use designed
13. 0:24support you create effectively a fin off
14. 0:27the part you design this fin to be about
15. 0:29a half a mm to 1 mm spaced parallel to
16. 0:33the back of the part that you're trying
17. 0:34to print make sure that the back edge of
18. 0:36the flange is also flattened a little
19. 0:38bit so that you have a part of the part
20. 0:40against the bed then you take sprew and
21. 0:43design them to run and merge into the
22. 0:45part you now have this nice little set
23. 0:48of ribs that run up here along this fin
24. 0:51which when it's done all you have to do
25. 0:53is break it off and it's a very clean
26. 0:56way of producing supports it's also very
27. 0:58very reliable
