Heyyyy you added timestamps !!!
Have you made a vid on where to find good STL. Also love your vids as someone very new to printing.
any chance you can put your starting points all in one place in writing?
I just wanted to comment to mention that at least currently, Dikale is not selling the PLA filament that is in this video. Clicking the link will take you to a PLA+ filament, which is significantly stronger and more difficult to remove supports. I made the mistake and I'm trying to adjust settings now to try and improve print quality. Would you happen to have any advice as far as PLA+ or other sturdier filaments go? Thanks for he help and great video!
@@NIGHTMARE-zy7tq cults 3d, you have to make an account but they have great free and paid stls
I have 3D printer for more than a year. From day one, I was watching and following your instructions. During last year I have printed tons of minis and they all look great thanks to your instructions and all the little tricks you showed to us. To show my appreciation, I just got late pledge for The Lost Adventures. You are gift to the community.
Thank you Danny.
I've been tinkering and honing in on settings I like through experimentation for years, but you've just leapfrogged over all of that fumbling and it just works now. You've earned my sub!
DANNY!!!! THANK YOU!!!! you just increased my printing mini knowledge 200% Thank You, thank You, Thank You!!!
You're welcome my friend, cheers!
Thank you. I’ve just started printing my minis for my table top game. I’m still learning Cura and you nailed what I’m doing with supports. I can’t wait to implement what I’ve learn from this video! Thank you so much!
My man! I was having the worst anxiety about printing because I couldn't get my support settings right and it was a nightmare to remove the supports post print: ruining my prints and taking forever. After watching this video, using these settings, and now understanding more what was going wrong, I was able to print a curvy, spiky dragon tail and it looks magnificent! I've just been staring at it in awe. Thanks so much for putting your content up! Much love, brother!
You are a lifesaver! I was able to successfully print my first miniature with clean details and no overhang issues. Thank you so much!
This has been incredibly helpful! As someone who is a 3D printing novice, this was exactly the type of video I needed to make my prints more successful. Thanks!
Thank you for these videos. My perfect profile I spent a couple months refining was completely lost in the 4.7 update. You're my savior right now.
Thanks! Your videos keep getting better, I appreciate all the extra insight you have been adding lately. Keep up the great work.
Dude, thanks again for all the effort you put into these videos. I will be coming back to this video, time and time again.
Thanks Danny, love these videos - really educational and helpful, with examples and stuff. Keep it up, you're a great service to the community man!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Tom! I hope it's helpful to your printing my friend. Cheers!
I've been looking for someone with the advanced settings actually written out for the longest time, thank you so much!!
That video is AWESOME. Thank you for this in depth view on supports. Had a hard time printing a HF mini this week and I guess this will help me a lot!
I hope it does! Thanks for your kind words. Let me know how it goes!
that was just one of the most useful 3D printing videos ever, thanks and keep updating it in this format (would be nice to see it about other slicers too in case you use any other)
i was having trouble with supports being hard to remove. i followed settings from this video and they worked great! thanks so much for this video!
Finally a somewhat “in-depth” support guide and explanation! I have looked for UP TO DATE support video that explain the current Cura options for a while since my experiences have been inconsistent when properly generating supports.
It would be nice if you did a video about your best tree support settings even though you stated you hardly use them. I wish Cura allowed for custom supports like mesh mixer when using tree supports.
Thanks again for the info!
Danny, this was a great help to me! I've be struggling to print minis with good supports that didn't fail and weren't a pain to remove/clean-up. Thanks!
Did my first print today with your suggestions. It was just a simple wing but it came out so nice and the supports just basically fell off. Thanks so much for everything you do for the community.
Danny, Thank you sooo much for this information. I'm new to 3D printing and have shied away from printing many miniatures because of the difficulty I was having removing the supports. I'd say more but I must go print some minis and try out these settings!
I did a google search for printing supports in Cura from the last month, and this video was right at the top. While I didn't put it in my search, it was for printing D&D minis, so this video was perfect. Great explanations! Instant subscribe.
One of the best video about support that I've ever seen...hats off!
Jesus Christ! What is this magic? These settings have increased my print quality by miles, and make it so much easier to remove the far-less support. Much appreciated dude.
Awesome video man! Just your channel! Loving the content! Printing up some minis right now and def will be checking out some of your videos!
Thanks for visiting my channel, Jessy. Never thought I'd see the day I'd get a comment from ya, feeling pretty honored right now. You're channel is my go-to prop channel, brother. Big hug, man!
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. After adjusting my Cura settings I was finally able to print a miniature and not have issues removing the supports.
I changed how I do supports based on that post too. It's been a game changer for my mini printing. Thanks for the video, great job!
Just wow! I thought my support settings where pretty good, but the combination of Line Pattern with Roof/Floor is amazing. Allways had problems with support placement-> everywhere, now i can get it off clean. And the Retraction setting for support, i just never noticed. Very helpful, thx.
I got a glass plate for my ender 3 and I love it because it sticks so well that I don't need rafts nearly as much, nor do I need to use glue sticks anymore. You have great tips thank you so much!
Liked for the rotation trick to get those supports in the right place, and subbed for the positive and friendly vibes. Seriously great vid keep it up.
If anyone else is wondering why they can't lift their models off of the buildplate like at 9:05, it's in Cura's preferences > general, "automatically drop models to the buildplate". Turn that one off. I had the same problems as Danny, and I was looking for a solution. This is probably it!
You're right - I mention it specifically in my Supports 101 video but I forgot it here! Good catch. Thank you Robbert!
THANK YOU!!!
this is one of my favorite videos on the internet. seriously, thank you
yet another great video , thank you for the work you do for the community
I just wanted to say thank you I just tried the setting and they worked wonderfully
Best video on supports I've seen to date! Well done.
Dude amazing! My friends and family got me a ender 3 v2 for my Bday since I got back into dming for D&D and been struggling with settings. This video has helped me immensely since I got back into it, thank you 🙏
Thank you!!!! These settings have helped me (finally!)successfully print miniatures!
Great video Danny! Super informative & chill. Now I just need to get a printer...
I don't print minis at all but this was a fantastic video for just learning more about supports in general. These settings apply to even functional prints that need support. Thanks!
The community thanks you! This really is great work!
This video is really helpful and informative and fills me with more confidence for the next time I have to print with supports, thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for sharing your settings! I printed my very first dragon and the overhangs were perfect!
So timely. Thank you. Just what I needed.
Danny, I really dig your channel, and I'm thrilled that it is growing. You should have tons of subscribers.
Finaly a detailed (old but still perfect -> because settings of Cura changed a little bit) video! Thanks for all!
thank you!!! Supports are the hardest thing i have run into along with retraction
Dikale PLA is great! It was one of the first PLAs that I tried and it's always worked great for me. I've had way less issue with Dikale than I have with less "budget" PLA.
Thank you very much for your continuous effort, I really appreciate all the work you do, here is one more happy child! Thank you!
Awesome Video...Your channel is one of the reasons I got into 3d printing at all!
Glad you are back!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos, my printer is on the way , and I can't wait! I know I will be going over and over your videos to help me print.
Thanks for sharing! I will try. Normally I use Meshmixer overhangs, a sort of tree supports but minimizing the contact surface points and material. Very easy to remove.
This is the video i was looking for. Thank you!
I hope it helps! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for your great work, and for sharing with us. This is an inspiration, you rock!
Just found your channel. I bought an ender3 and i am struggling with the minis so far. I am goona try out your settings and all of your advices ! Thank you so much :)
Thank you for this very informative and confidence inspiring video. increased my print quality by a large margin. keep up the good work and keep sharing your experience
You've been a huge help for me. I just got an Ender 3 for printing minis. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video, I am looking forward to trying out these supports.
You are back awesome!!
Great video Danny, I'm going to give these settings a shot!
Thanks for this! I have been using the old Siepie profile for a couple months now. One thing that annoyed me was the clicky sound of the nozzle dragging across supports. Every now and then that would lead to support snapping. I've just printed out my first mini with these settings and I didn't hear any of that clicking at all. The resulting quality is great and the time spent on support removal makes me want to print out entire armies now.
Hey man, you've helped me a lot this past few year. Thanks for that. One thing I figured out for minis is that if you remove the base, you reduce the printing time of 2:50 to 1:00 hour for 32mm characters. And than you can print the bases at 2mm layer high in a 3 min/base ratio. Than, just superglue then together. You probably already know this, but I've never seen you mention it. Might help others. Cheers
Man, thank you so much for this. This changed my mini printing life! Supports were killing my minis before this! Definite Subscribe, gonna have to watch the rest of your videos!
Thanks Danny - great video with lots of tips to test!
Great settings for Cura they really worked for my minis, Thanks!
An often-overlooked option is to use _both_ tree supports and traditional supports. You can rely on the tree supports for most things, and only use traditional supports for really high-angle overhangs like >80 degrees. The tree structures will overlap the towers, and can help prevent them falling over, too.
I'm printing some miniatures for using with Gloomhaven. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to look ok.
Printing with the standard support was impossible to get out of the miniature. Thanks to your presets I was able to print. Going to watch the video later to understand even more about the how and what, but I'm glad I could just get it printing now!
Day two of owning an Ender 3 pro and half of what you said I didn't understand but I will come back and watch again to test out these settings. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.
Thank you so much! I have been having so much trouble with supports. I couldn't remove them without tearing my goblin archer's bow off, or my dire wolf's legs off. (He is now Snickers the Legless Wolf.) These settings actually made it possible to get functioning minis. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Saving up for an ender 3 and doing as much learning before hand. Thank you for the info. Subbed!
Such an informative video!! So well explained!! Thank you so much!
Can't wait to print my first minis :)
Will def watch some of your other videos first XD
Thanks! Been waiting for this.
You're welcome! I hope it helps. Cheers!
Hey man, you just earned my subscribe. SUCH A HELPFUL VIDEO! Thank you so much!
I found I've had a lot more success with tree supports (after playing around I've found a tree support angle of 60 has worked really well) on larger minis, while the lines/support interface are my go to for the normal player sized minis.
Very informative and helpful video, thank you very much.
These settings are fantastic !!! Thank you very much for sharing them =)
So Helpful, thank you!!!
Dude.... this is such an amazing video. Thank you so much
That Samus looks great!
Gold info right here. Thank you
great summary and breakdown! Cura has defiantly come a long way in support options.
I so needed this video man, can't thank you enough.
One thing you can test is using the orientation solver on Meshmixer and then go to Cura for the final support creation.
Let me clarify what I mean by this.
- I have meshmixer setup so it will export an STL to Cura when I press Print
- I import the model in meshmixer
- Go to analysis -> orientation
- have all my settings cranked up to 100
- overhang angle here is [90 -
I didn't even know you could change the support pattern. Damn those hidden settings. Thanks for making this!
I Really needed this video, thanks!
This is such an underrated youtube channel. Thanks for putting these out!
Gonna try this right now
You are definitely a hero! Can DMs get inspiration? I grant you inspiration!
Great video, just started to 3d print my own stuff, was having issues with the supports but this helped alot. Thanks!
Are you using the newest ultimakerCura? Seen some settings in there not covered in the video, did you just leave them default?
Great info! Thank you.
Just got my first FDM printer, still very relevant information, thanks.
I use Slic3r PE and this video was still super informative. Great job.
These are the best supports I’ve ever used by far.
Wanted to thank you for this. I’m using an Ender 3 and I design rings. Currently working on a shadow band for an engagement ring with lots of twists and turns, and having to print the model after each adjustment until I get it just right. Without these settings, I’d never be able to remove the supports without breaking the model. It’d be pretty costly to send this to casting if I couldn’t double check my work
support stringing I find helps maintain stability of the supports, especially for thin, tall supports.
new to printing minis just been having issues yesterday i broke a foot off my print removing supports .. got your setting set and giving it a try
thank you, I it took a awhile but now I can spend less time tearing apart my builds. Just a little more on thinking about painting them :)
Thank you for the support tips! Time to delve back into Cura!
You're welcome, Joseph! Good luck!
Subscribing to your channel has been one of the best decisions I've made EVER! Thanks for these videos!
I 👏 needed 👏 this 👏 so 👏 bad!👏 thank you so much!!! 🤘
