will need supports. This angle is determined by the material, layer height, extrusion

width, and temperature. It is critical to adjust the support structures accordingly to

ensure the best print result, especially for large 3D prints.The principle is raised by a

stage designer and widely accepted among the 3D printing industry.

Principle of P② roportionality

As for the application of supports, users are suggested to comply with the principle of

proportionality. Even though the supports algorithm has been developing, adding

supports intelligently cannot be realized at present. Therefore, users are always

oriented in adding the supports. As we all know, excessive supports will definitely

result in difficulty in supports removal, while limited supports cannot ensure the

stability of the model. Since FashPrint has the function of manual modification, users

can add proper supports to their models according to the daily experience and the

academic principles.

●Support Types

Linear Support Structure：Suitable for models with large-area overhang(s).

Features：Full coverage of supports improves the model stability. But the supports on

the surface are difficult to be removed and will definitely reduce the print quality.

Treelike Support Structure：Suitable for models with small area overhang(s).(You

are suggested printing a raft)

Features：Treelike support structure is proprietary to Flashforge Corporation. And this

structure can save support material and can be easily removed. However, compared

with the linear support structure, it’s of less stability. So you are suggested to manually

add more supports after auto-generating treelike supports.
