This is the eight episode of the Cura Custom Settings series, where we are going to analyse the eight tab of the custom settings menu in Ultimaker Cura 3.3.1. , that is the Support tab.

You will find the link to support us on Patreon here:

In this video we are going to use 3 different STL files to play with the settings and that will also help us getting the best configuration of the supports for our 3d printer.
This configuration can vary depending on the 3D printer we are using, but we got a standard configuration that should work in most of the printers, and also explained what are each of the menus so everyone can do the specific configuration for its 3d printer.

Along the video we will experiment with a lot of options, and finally we kept activated the next ones: Generate Support, Support Placement, Support Overhang Angle, Support Pattern, Support Density, Support top Distance, Support Bottom Distance, Support X/Y Distance, Support Distance Priority, Minimum Support X/Y Distance, Gradual Support Infill Steps, Use Towers, Tower Diameter, Minimum Diameter, and Tower Roof Angle.

Tuning your support settings will improve a lot the final quality of your prints.

Cura is one of the most common slicer software that are mostly used for 3D Printing. It supports a huge variety of 3d printers such as the BQ Hephestos, Original Prusa i3 MK2, Ultimaker 2, Ultimaker 3, Rostock, etc.

It allows us to print in 3d in three different ways:
The first is by uploading the .gcode files into an SD Card, that we will insert in our 3D Printer. Second, we can connect our 3D Printer to our computer via USB, and control it directly from our Cura software, and finally, there is an option to control some 3D Printers at the same time remotely, via internet.

Ultimaker Cura in the version 3.3.1, or the most recent version depending when you watch this video, is available both for Mac OS and Windows operating systems.

Very informative as usual, thanks so much! I have learnt so much from this series of videos and saved myself many failed prints. I'm subscribed and totally looking forward to your future videos. Keep up the great work! :)

The bottom layers are only really shown on the last print and those look consistent but not nice, they are saggy lines, so on normal prints they would look quite ugly where they shouldnt be. but the rest of the prints look great and over all a great video!

Sir your videos help me a lot..
I have built 3d printer but I didn't know how to use slicing software .. thanks you for making video series on cura in detail

[TechGorilla]

Excellent video, sir! Nicely explained.

[ld-dmaker]

HEY! I saw a trick in cura, you set the layers to .05, 0 bottom layers and top layers, the print will be solid but if your settings are good to start, you will get SLA quality prints, this trick was used to create figurines, try it out!
