Some exceptions are ears or weapons in D&D or Pathfinder models. If you look closely, most models have parts that hang down but few that go up.

Just add manual supports to locations that still have over. Many objects can be successfully printed rotating them on their back or side. There are a few tricks depending on the level of complexity. What if there are a lot of little over hangs, like there are in the D&D models? With capes that hang down from the back, gloves with cuffs that hang down from the hand and armor that always seems to angle downward, there are many places that will need support. And if part of the raft fails to adhere completely to the build plate, as long as most of the raft is still handing on, your model will print successfully.Īny over hangs on your model will need supports. The raft gives you print a large are of contact with the build plate to improve adhesion.

Use the Bed of Nails automatic supports and include the raft setting. This process can damage the print so it is best to have supports connected to the build plate rather than the model. Anything touching the build plate needs to be scraped off after the print is complete. Even if it has a simple flat bottom, it is best to move the model up off the build plate a few millimeters. Never print the object directly on the build plate. View Options gives you some options for changing how you see the objects on screen and does not affect how the objects print. Rotate allows rotating the selected object around a specific axis. Scale applies to the current size of the object not the original size. This is nice for D&D minis to give the prints some variety when making multiple copies. Mirror allows you to create a mirror image of the object you have selected. You can move objects by dragging them but these controls allow you to specify a precise distance to move using X/Y/Z. Move (mm) gives you precise movement control of the object you have selected. Object Info give info about the current selected object on the screen.

The plus button allows you to make copies of the object you have selected, the minus button removes the object, and the X button clears the build space. Scene displays a list of all objects you have loaded, including all the individual supports. When you click any of these button, the features or options in the section appear. The options on the right side of the screen allow you to scale, rotate or move the selected object on the screen. The fourth button sets whether supports are to be added to all models you have loaded or just the one selected. Once you have selected the type of automatic supports, click and they will be generated. This allows you to create nail supports exactly where you want them.Īutomatic supports are generated with the third button. The second support button is the manual supports button. This can be used to increase the area of contact with the built plate and improve adhesion when printing. This creates a raft like support below your model. The first button has a small plus sign in the upper left corner and a large dash at the bottom. What works best for me is to use Bed of Nails and then add manual supports where needed.Īt the very top of the Support Generation options are 4 buttons. I find that Adaptive Supports is too aggressive, placing multiple support nails next to each other resulting in supports that are too strong and not easily removed. The other option is Adaptive Supports, which will attempt to place supports exactly where they are needed. The default option is Bed of Nails, which creates a simply set of nail supports, spaced at constant intervals. Under Automatic Supports there are 2 options. You shouldn’t need to mess around with the settings here. Clicking that icon brings up the Support Generation options. On the left side of the screen is a plus sign icon.

Supportsīefore you print your item, you may want to consider adding supports. This will allow you to navigate your file system to the location you saved your stl file at. To load your model, click on the first button, the one that looks like a folder, at the top of the Creation Workshop screen.

The file that the Creation Workshop software created is just a Zip file but it has configuration data in it that you could not easily generate using a different program. There are several software programs you can use to edit you model or add supports, but you will still need to use the Creation Workshop to slice the model and save it in the correct format. The slicing software that comes with the Monoprice Mini SLA is called Creation Workshop.
