Support and Cleanup Checklist

Before slicing

• Rotate the model before adding supports.
• Preview where support contacts the visible surface.
• Prefer supports on hidden or less important faces.
• Use small test sections for difficult models.

Support tuning

• Check support Z distance/contact distance.
• Use interface only when it improves the surface.
• Reduce support density if supports are fusing.
• Tune temperature if contact areas look melted.
• Choose tree/organic supports where appropriate.

Cleanup workflow

• Let the part cool before removal.
• Use appropriate flush cutters/tools carefully.
• Sand or finish only after checking details.
• Save successful support settings to Profile Vault.
