In this 3D modeling tutorial, you will learn a cutting-edge technique for designing 3D prints with strong and sturdy support underneath "icicle overhangs." Say goodbye to the frustration of slicing softwares missing auto-generated support structures underneath overhangs that come to a fine point. With this innovative method, you will be able to design parts that will be fully supported, while still allowing for easy post-processing. Whether you're a seasoned 3D modeling pro or just starting out, you won't want to miss this exciting new design hack. So, get ready to take your 3D printing game to the next level with this 3d printing design tutorial.

🏭 High-Volume 3D Printing: Scalability Meets Flexibility
Slant 3D's Large-Scale 3D Print Farms utilize 1000's of FDM 3D printers working 24/7 to offer limitless scalability and unparalleled flexibility. Whether it's 100 or 100,000 parts, our system can handle it reliably, while still allowing for real-time design updates, ensuring products evolve with the times. This adaptability is key in today's fast-paced world.
🌿 Sustainable Manufacturing: Eco-Friendly Efficiency
Embrace a system that drastically reduces carbon emissions by eliminating carbon-intensive steps in the supply chain, such as global shipping and warehousing. Our approach minimizes this footprint, offering a more sustainable manufacturing option.
⚙️ Digital Warehouses: Parts On-Demand
Think of print farms as a "Digital Warehouse", meaning we can store your parts digitally on a server rather than physically on a shelf. parts are available on-demand, reducing the need for extensive physical inventory.

I had a student experimenting with making her own support like your comb but she had problem with dimensions and count of the sprues to get enough support but clean break. At age 13 she did not have the math to do any kind of calculation of the forces, plus was working in TinkerCad; so it was going to be a series of empirical iterations. Instead of the five posts, she ended up putting in text of several characters with total size 2mm x 10mm that face up from the comb. Then she experimented with changing text from " - - - " to "MMM" to " C C C " to quickly change shape and quantity of sprue. Clever kid.
These supports are genius and I never knew these kinds of things existed. Thank you, learned something new today.
Simply genius. This solves so many problems I have during printing.
That is was helpful.
Good idea. I had a similar problem in my last project and solved it with special support parts directly in my stl file. The way you have done it means that you don't have to think about support when designing. Thanks.
Thanks. You are welcome
the growth of FMD tree supports can autimatacally achive this into the futer, I think maker's muse did a good video recently on more modern support generation.
Any autogenerated support requires spacing in order to be removable. That spacing allows these types of features to settle which will cause distortions in the print. So you can't reliably use software supports in this case
@@slant3d I love this use of thumbtacks. However, this comment is simply untrue. Change the Z distance in support settings to 0 and it still slices. I've use this method multiple times without any issue. This is in Cura 5.5, I leave the z distance when slicing in bambu studio.
Yes please and thank you! I'm always fighting fangs on my projects. I've been using an I beam type support that I had to shave the sides off each time. I'm going to give this a try and see.
Glad to help
Learning so much each episode, thanks
And... I learn something new every day. This was a 'Why didn't I think of this' moment. Many thanks!
No problem. Thanks for watching
Great idea for the support. I learn something today. Thank you sir
I think in an earlier vid on printing a cube at an angle, you made a support of vertical plane 1mm thick with sprues, placed along underside of edge of cube. We now frequently use that technique instead of auto-supports. It does the support perfectly and snaps right off in post processing. Why not same here? A plate oriented in the sagittal plane of the bird, with an edge shaped to follow the contour of neck, chin and beak.
I've actually been using thumbtacks with my models and didnt even realize it. I too was having issues with the downward pointing parts that the slicer couldnt sufficiently build support for, so i literally have just been doing .3mm tall cylinders with a 1mm wide cylinder coming up the center to meet the point. Works every time.
Awesome
Legend, literally!
impressively cunning. Thanks you so much!
You bet!
Good tips, thanks m8
Excellent tips, Adding them to my arsenal!!
Have fun!
@@slant3d Always!!!
This is one of the smartest things ive seen for 3d printing
Thanks
Hey the files are no longer on the patreon. Where can I get them?
Thanks for remind me that 3d builder exist and is useful
Awww you made a little hat for the bird !
This is amazing. A whole new way to look at custom supports.
Glad you enjoyed
If you fix some bad defaults, Cura will support this just fine with normal automatic support generation (regular or tree).
Any autogenerated support requires spacing in order to be removable. That spacing allows these types of features to settle which will cause distortions in the print. So you can't reliably use traditional supports
@@slant3d I think I'm understanding what you're saying. You can do zero spacing with multi material and related methods, but of course that has its own issues. I've been meaning to experiment with zero vertical spacing using reduced flow and increased line spacing on support interface layers.
its a great idea but its also great idea to add interface support mateial to get cleaner results.
Whats speeds are you using to print someting like the eagle head you showed?
I'm using Cura tree supp but I feel like at times the little trees shift, causing warped parts had this happen twice, printing at 60mm/s and and .28 layer height.
could this be the high layer height or fast speed? also had it happen on a .16 layer height print with around 50mm/s
You can just use new support of prusa Slicer
Very handy trick! I wonder how effective it would be to design my own tree support to meet the thumb tack for those hard-to-print overhangs.
Not a bad idea
NOT FREE!!!Have to Join to download!!!
Cute, but why compare to old fashioned supports? I can do all that with tree supports and custom supports already in Cura very reliably.
Is there a way to get the files that are not on patreon?
This channel is absolute gold. Y'all should have 100x more subs
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Great video as always! What's the latest update with your Patreon though?
what infill pattern do you guys use?
Just need those tables from pizza boxes upside down would do the job and easy to build with 2 cilinders and a duplicate of one of them
Did you intend to discontinue the free STLs? The post is locked until you become a member
Great idea, I will use this. The video would be much better without the random background clicking the entire time.
What software is used to add these supports?
Where do I download these supports?
I feel like not using dated software would help.
Aut generated supports have to be removable. The space created by making a support removable can lead to failure of these type of features. The software has nothing to do it with. It is the mechanics.
What software do you use
Which slicer are you using?
It's an older version of Simplify3d
Did you close your Patreon page? I get a 'Bad Gateway' error from the link for the stls in the description and I can't find you by searching on Patreon
Unfortunately we are no longer on Patreon, but we are working on getting a site set up for all our files. Should be done very soon and we will make sure to update you all when it is live.
This is a great idea, but I wouldn't call this a thumbtack. I'd call it a "kiss", since it looks like a Hearshy's Kiss to me. Could call this "Kissing".
Not a bad idea.
BTW. Thanks for watching. The Team loves your stuff.
this is literaly tree supports
theyre not free STL's theyre 3 bucks each
I just print that part separately and glue them together after....... easy fix.
why would you place all those supports yourself and not use autosupports? whats the benefit here?
Or you could just us a modern slicer.
Has nothing to do with the slicer. Regular support has to be spaced from the part. That spacing causes the error.
@@slant3d You can have zero spacing and still have easily removable supports.
You just described a paradox
@@slant3d nope, it's easy to do.

Dude - either take down the video or make the files available FOR FREE.
@@stump182 they're easy enough to make in any modeling program. Just the idea is enough for most.
