I've been printing for years. Been using S3D for about 2 years now. I had no idea the difference between "skirt" and "brim" until now. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, I didn’t even think of pushing the print down into the bed to print a top portion! Thank you so much!
0:47
So ironic that when you say "stability" the video glitches out due to an error during rendering.
caffeinated lol
WTF. How did you notice it =)
60FPS m9.
Good to hear that Simplify3D is working on the possibility of adding a brim around support material that is touching the bed. I'll keep an eye out for that.
That Z offset tip to sink the print for testing is so easy. Cheers!
In one word: "Thisisjustaverygoodvideo!!!" Good topic. Well scripted. Nice demo prints! Good editing. Spontaneous presentation as always! Very well done!! Thanks!!
have you or anyone else said anything about dirty power? brown outs, power drops, and fluctuations? having a 3d printer on a ups battery backup would be a great tip. my power is horrible. I have a dip in power almost daily. It makes my Wi-Fi go out and I've lost save games on my ps3 and raspberry pie.
Yes! I've been waiting so long for brim on supports
RawDawgRaymondVEVO Official 2 years later and I still don’t see the option?!? Just base density
I know your getting some benefits from advertizing simplify3D but could you do tutorial for Slic3r? Or any other free software? I'm not really interested in using slicing program which costs almost 50% of my printer
I know your comment is a year old, but I'm employed in a 3D printing lab and tinker with them as a hobby. We always use Cura. It gives us very good results and has a strong development history behind it.
Thank you Master Angus for the tips and tricks.
Appreciate your efforts and time.
Best Wishes
Great video!!! This was extremely informative content. Keep the content coming!!
Cheers man!
Good video. Pity that Simplify 3D is not free. I would love the manual support feature in Cura.
you are the best teacher of 3D printings in the world! thanks Angus
I agree 100% I just bought a geetech a10m
You´re the best man! keep imparting knowledge as you do. Thank you!
LOL, of course you won't need support for an egg. What was I thinking?
The thinker could really benefit from Meshmixers tree supports =)
Thanks heaps! you have really helped my prints! Thanks heaps man!
Absolutely great tutorial!
Getting really close 100k subs Angus :) Great video!
Not sure if I'd call this a "Masterclass" but good try. You'll be in the Masterclass ads soon mate!
Awesome. Thank you!!
This is geat video, it's very informative and definitely helps individuals who are just getting into the hobby learn about how to get the most out of their 3d printers. Keep the content coming!!
Not going to lie... Just had a million dollar idea. And just chose a random video to comment on hoping that you actually read your comments, or have someone that does. You could revolutionize the general public customer trailer hitch market. Very quick and dirty, look at your average big buy store hitch. Just a simple sleeve that takes up the gap between hitch receiver and the actual (wal-mart bought) hitch
Great tips man!
When I printed the cat, I used a raft for stabilizing the structures
This is such a good video!
Great video! But I have two questions. Is there a chance of pulling off the entire bottom layer when removing a brim and how do you stop rafts fusing to the part? I have had that happen multiple times. Thanks!
Very informative tutorial.. thank you so much!
The fact that you can't have a solid first layer under support structure is probably the thing that bothers me the most with simplify3d. I asked them for that feature about 2 years ago and they just told me to use a raft to solve this :/ that feature has been a part of slic3r for years now...
FTcuber the fact that slic3r has a feature has no bearing on if Simplify3D will develop the same exact feature. I'd assume that they've not received a ton of requests for that feature in the past 2 years or they likely would've added it.
OOOH, a third pronunciation of Cache. Cash, Cash- aye and now Kayshh. Love the vids and thanks for minimizing your pic, becasue the fly away hairs was messing with my OPCD. I'm just teasing, you're great. Is brill still the cool way young people say brilliant? So many brill suggestions here. Loved the partial print tip especially.
Hi nice stuff have a few vids on my site linking to you. I have found that using a raft for all of my prints is incredible and I have never had a fail.
Ok you should had also touched STL files itself for a good success. Not always you need to do build supports up like you did in your slicer. Sometimes it's best you build them into your STL right from the start to eliminate failures and wasting a lot of support material. Like take a drawer which has a drawer handle attached. You can put a support under it for 25mm in a bigger area or you can put into your STL file a 45 degree support build material which comes up from the face where the handle is attacked to and build the support up in mid air by just using a 0.2mm support line. So sometimes you do need to think out of the box to support your print's proper, because also the Support functions of slicers often attach to hard to the piece you printing.
Keep up the good work.
Have you ever encountered Center and Arrange placing models outside the print bed area?
Great video, you are quite the expert on supports and I learned a lot from watching your lesson, thanks!
This was a really helpful video! I really liked how you demonstrated how the layer-by-layer g code preview can show where layers are printed in midair.
Thank you. SO MUCH.
wow I learnt much on this video. thanks!!!
And this video came out AFTER I spent THREE hours pulling out my hair. Just my luck. 😧
For the chin, could you possibly build support material off of the model to waste less filament?
Thank you!
Could you put it in tinkercad first and stick a block with a larger surface area below the head/hands that's separate from the base so the supports get built on top of it and join the block to the base with a brim? I don't have simplify 3d (yet) so am curious.
awesome tutorial
So this video is for rich 3d print people? You should do all your videos with only FREE software available... I'm poor...
ruclips.net/video/F7JuMa35IjA/видео.html good thing using the search bar is free
Maker's Muse I apoligize for being snarky. But I meant that videos like this, where you give instructions for settings, should use a free program. Like when you make a video talking about how to get the best prints, you shouldnt use simplify3d. I know its your favorite, but i think most of us use a free host controlling program. Im currently using MatterHackers MatterControl.
Hi Angus, a great video. But... Didn't the nose need a little bit of support? I would have done it.
yes, perhaps a little same with the eyebrows. It still worked but if I was to do this print again I might add a little there!
Now I fully comprehend that 3D printing is not just a toy that you buy and start getting awesome results. Thanks Agnus
Buy a Prusa! Its darn close. :) Just kidding.. but it is close. :)
So is it better to use a dual head printer for support material. Then you can use a dissoluble material for support. I am sure it would be better but a lot more expensive?
Such an old video I know but for the cat couldn’t we make the brim larger until it reaches support? Might be a little wasteful but wouldn’t that connect that column?
Wow!!
GREAT VID. IM A CNC GUY.. BUT RUNNING THRU REALLY TELLS ALL. SAME WITH RUNNING THE SIMULATION ON THE CNC SOFTWARE. I'M NEW TO THE 3-D PRINTER WORLD I HAVE A CR-10 COMING. I HAVE NO FILAMENT OR SLICER SOFTWARE. LOOKING AT IDEA MAKER SOFTWARE.. A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE GREAT FOR BOTH THANKS IN ADVANCE....AGAIN GREAT VID'S
Mine Auto levels a it resets on off usually about .05 to .1 high. I'll just baby step it and watch check on model levels consistent no elephant, etc.
for warping I always add mouse ear on my models
good tip! hold down disks do help for warping and improving surface area if you don't want to use a brim.
Realy REALY usefull video, thanks!
I dont understand what the big deal is about 3d printing . I have never had a problem I couldn't fix. And I learned on my own.
Could it be possible to told the 'Thinker' model back about 10° to 15°would that waste more suport material, as it would make it easier to remove fro maybe just (me surface, and cleans the base with a some sand paper on a a flat surface, this vid is 4 years old now, so hopefully somehow you see this message...
Hmm the very hand would need.supporss...🤔
Well was just a thought...
Hi Angus! I was just wondering, is there an advantage to printing over USB compared to an SD card? I've always used SD cards but continue to see people using USB. Is there a major benefit to it?
BoomBrush I can only think of reasons not to use USB and no benefits to using it for printing.
You know Windows 10 will wait until you're 15 hours into a 15 1/2 hour print and then decide to update :)
Having said that, I do have a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint on one of my printers and that's connected via USB. So there are some uses.
It's not that complicated, it's easier and quicker. Just like a regular printer, just click a few button and it starts printing. Many prints are not 15 hours for me, but just one or two hours. That is fine over usb, skip all the getting sd card out of printer/putting it in pc/ignore windows message about checkingthe drive/ saving stl to sd/taking out sd/placing it in printer/use printer control to select and print stl file... I dont understand how people prefer that for smaller prints
My wording is bad. I'm asking if theres a benefit to using USB.
I've never used USB because in the event the computer sleeps or something, you lose your entire print. So you would have to now rely on two things rather than just one.
@BoomBrush, As Pook365 mentioned, I too use OctoPi on a Raspberry Pi.
The Pi is connected to the printer over USB, but my PC connects to the Pi over my network.
Once the print is sent to the Pi, the Pi takes care of everything, so it doesn't need the PC any more.
If you print over USB directly from the PC, the PC streams the gcode directly to the printer, so any interruption will wreck the print.
Hope that helps.
The only advantages are that it's more convenient to start the print, and you can also get a live preview while it's printing depending on your slicer.
Our lab has a bigass printer that connects over USB, you get a live preview with time estimate while printing, but if you lose connection, you're screwed, so SD is recommended.
Our Afinia also connects over USB, but stores the code on the machine itself, so it can run without the computer once it gets going.
So basically, USB is more convenient, but SD is safer, with some exceptions.
that plastic he was using looks super glossy, anyone know what brand it was?
I believe it's Polyalchemy PLA www.polyalchemy.com/
A comment from the future, you can easily test tricky parts that needs support or tight tolerances, by dragging the model in z and also cutting everything else (like the back of the thinker here) in Prusaslicer with the cut tool, or in Cura by adding some modifier (if I remember correctly). That way the test is as fast an focused as possible. I did that with a small transformer PIP to get the xy compensation neither overly loose or that melted together the parts.
Just watched this video after 3 years of printing. Wish I had seen it sooner for one reason. I use S3D and my supports are just one rough zigzag all the way to the actual print. I noticed yours get denser just before the print. How do you make it do this? Fortunately what I have been printing the most does not have much for overhangs. I try to avoid them in my designs but plan on venturing out more and see that this would be so much better when I do need supports but don't want the density all the way up. Thanks.
Has cura a manual support feature to make your own supports like Simplify3D? Im still looking around the slicer world and most said i should either use cura, or the creality slicer that came with my ender 3 pro since its based on an older cura engine. So now i need to decide between cura and simplify3d..
Lol back when I first got my printer, I actually tried printing a dog model for my roommate, and I ran into a similar problem with the legs as the Cat model 😂😂 I ended up just flipping the dog upside down to print it
There isn't a way to add a brim around support material is there? I sometimes have issues with tall support columns falling over. A brim around the support material would go a long way in keeping those standing.
Thanks for this great video.
For some reason I am not able to set manual support in S3D. The function stays grayed out and I can't turn it on.
Have asked this to the guys of S3D via twitter a few times as well, but no answer yet.
3d Print Creator have you contacted their actual support staff? Twitter is great for sharing issues that may be effecting multiple people. But I doubt their social media team is as familiar with common issues and how to solve them.
So far, the only response I've ever had was via twitter. I never got any answers on questions via email.
And with twitter I mean DM of course.
3d Print Creator interesting. I can't say I've ever sent in a support ticket and had it go completely unanswered. Are you using their contact us page?
No, I used a mail adres, and maybe that's the problem because I now see they don't have a mail adres listed on their page...
I will send the question again, now using their contact form.
I'd love to be able to afford s3d but I'm using my printers to make money for a non profit with proceeds going towards helping people like me with mental illness learn about technology.
Can you make the brim on the inner side of a hollow model? (the inner part of that egg, instead of surrounding it from outside, for example?)
Is it better to print piece by piece or all the pieices on the bed at once. I had a failure and lost all my pieces so now I'm afraid to. 48 yr old newbie with $300 chinese prusa i3 kit ultra heated bed. Also cura doesn't do supports what can a newbie use? .
What is a reliable PLA filament? What do you recommend and where to purchase?
Can't get the base of the egg to print.
imgur.com/hK4j7YO tried it several times, all different settings, different filament - always about the same outcome
When adding a "Brim", have you learned that you need some sort of percentage of the surface space of the whole model or just a line or so per cm high?
Guess it depends on the surface area of the geometry, for really thin objects I'll go as large as a 6mm brim.
Hey there. Have you reviewed Creality CR-10? If not, is there a chance you will?
hello i am new to 3d printing an i would like to know which slicer software i need for the Anet A8. Can somebody help me with that?
Hi Angus, an observation and a question on contact surface area and adhesion pre-checks...
@4:47 - Just for interest I did some rough calculations on the surface area difference between the 2 egg parts. The larger annulus is ~ 18.37 while the bottom of the other half is ~ 28.27, so the larger (disc) footprint is 64% of the area of the smaller disc (I assume units are mm).
Now the question, even though the contact area is smaller, would not the larger diameter compensate in terms of stability (not necessary adhesion) to the work surface? The reason I ask is that I typically use a blue-tape surface and I notice the plastic-to-tape-adhesion is pretty good. The weakness at that point is the adhesion of the tape to the aluminum heated bed. This effect is _worse_ when the contact area is smaller in diameter. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
Thanks for the Masterclass info, great stuff as always.

Lot said or unsaid for hearing the machine feel the table B 1 with your printer ...
It would probably be easier to print the cat as 2 pieces (body and head) and join it later as this wold use much less support material.
In your opinion what's the best DIY 3D Printer under 500$?
3S' Stupidly Slow Speed! most of the time the printing speed is the enemy of success
Wow Simplify3D is really terrible at automatic support generation!
it looked the cats eyes were bleeding
cura also has custom supports :) people don't seem to realize that, lol, but damn this video is a treasure trove of tips!
And this is why I love simplify3d and cant work with the prusa slic3r edition, even tho its "made" for my printer.
Could you help me set up my cura settings for my cr10 s5....mostly stringing or under extrusion...cant find the best settings for retraction.
jims garage same here
I see your Prusa MK2 doing Z-Hop, but your MK2 Profile in Simplify3D shows 0,0 as Retraction vertical lift value.
Either this is not the profile you printed with or I miss something.
Please share your Simplify3D Settings you usually print with.
I bought Simplify3D, but get better print results with Slic3r Prusa Edition. That makes me headaches. Especially the seam is way less noticable when I use Slic3r
Angus is that a resin printer behind your head on the shelf? :)
Very helpful information, thanks.
Really want simplify 3d but i can't afford it :( Best program out by far well done guys 👍
That's such a neat trick, the power of 3D printing 😩
3d printers are useless to me if it can't print 3 miles of surface area in a 12x12x12 space
avoiding showing that winky hey angus ;)
and the 7 P's Proper, Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
Brilliant practical video! Thank you
The eyes of the cat with the support are so creepy even a ghost should be scared for life
Great tutorial Angus! Thank you.
I have a question, but it's a bit off topic.
Do you have any info on when simplify3d is planing to release their next update?
I'm a long time simplify user, but I'm actually starting to consider using the open source ones, simplify is getting left behind 😕
Can you do a video on "Essentium's FuseBox prints 3D with plasma" (recent techcrunch video)? I really want to know if it's all hype or actually legit.
Another great video, TY. I use a MakerBot Rep2, it creates a raft( like your brim), which works well.
Not sure if all 3D printers have this option?
nice one man, just solved one of my probs, nuff said
Love your channel Angus I think I've watched 90% of your uploads since I've found your channel. I'm new to 3d printing and was thinking of acquiring the Monoprice select mini as my first printer. I've searched your channel and can't seem to find a mention or review of it from you. i was wondering what you think of this printer and also would love to see you review this machine for your channel.
EXCELLENT video, thank you so much for making this!
awesome tips, Angus. Thanks for sharing:) I ran through a very similar process when I printed out my copy of the Thinker on the Ultimaker3.
Have you seen the price of simplify3d ? Plug it all you like I'm not paying that much for a slicer.... Just saying! Greedy Basterds if you ask me.
Worth it for multiple machines or printing on demand but yeah for a hobby it's difficult to justify unless you need the advanced features.
Vince Prints 3D ....I would suggest MM do a poll of how many would buy S3D if the price came down. My guess is that thousands of us - on this channel alone - who buy it....at a reasonable price
Funny thing is I do indeed have multiple machines now. You are partly to blame for that along with Joel and Jerry. Still the price is to high for a slicer. I was almost lynched by the wife for getting a second printer not a chance she would allow me to pay that much for printing software that I can get for free.
Hey buddy just want to say your videos are amazing :) super helpful for everything I’m learning with my new 3d printer :) thanks again and keep up he great work :)
I think you meant to write "pre-flight" in the description, but the "f" is missing.
+SDWNJ yes I did! Thanks for letting me know, changed
