Take the guesswork out of dialing in your 3D printer with the settings I personally use on my own machines.
This guide is designed for beginners and hobbyists who want cleaner support removal, better print quality, and less time wasted experimenting with slicer settings. Instead of spending hours testing different combinations, you can start with settings that have been proven through real-world use.
Inside this guide you'll find:
The support settings I personally use
Recommended slicer configurations
Tips for achieving cleaner support removal
Explanations of why certain settings were chosen
Guidance to help improve print success and consistency
Disclaimer: These settings are based on my personal experience and the printers I own. Results may vary depending on your printer brand, model, age, calibration, filament, slicer version, environmental conditions, and user error. This guide should be used as a starting point for your own testing and optimization, and no specific results are guaranteed.
