Overhang threshold:
45
°
Down-facing surfaces overhanging more than this from vertical get supports (45° = the classic rule).
Support spacing:
4.0
mm
Grid pitch between support pillars. Larger = fewer supports.
Contact reduction:
4.0
×
Tip contact area vs. a standard flat tip. 4× → half the tip diameter.
Reference tip Ø:
0.8
mm
A normal support's contact diameter. The slim tip = this ÷ √(reduction).
Base Ø:
1.6
mm
Pillar base diameter for stability. Tips taper up to the slim contact.
⚙️ Generate supports

⬇ .stl
Works when the file contains supports as a
separate object
(multi-body .3mf). Tick the objects that are supports, then pinch their top contact band.
