Slicing & files

Supports and the slice preview

Always, Never or automatic supports, the support type, threshold angle and build-plate-only, and a preview drawn from the real gcode.

2 min read

In a file’s print settings, Supports is Automatic, Always or Never. Always and Never win over the settings saved inside a 3MF project.

Support type: tree or normal, automatic or manual.
Threshold angle: overhangs steeper than this get supports.
On the build plate only: no supports that start on the model itself.

The preview

Every preview tab is drawn from the gcode that goes to the printer: the part in green, supports in grey, with a switch to hide them. Without a gcode yet, the slicer’s own picture shows.
