Note: You can also use the “Modify settings for infill of other models” in the drop down. They both seem to do the same thing for the multiple infill process example.
This support blocker is really useful, but I've tried it to lower the speed for a part of a model that requires a low speed but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I look at the feedrate in the layer view...
Thanks, very informative. Can Cura be used with a Prusa i3MK3s? or can this tips be used with the Slic3R? Thanks
Yes it can be used with any printer.
@@FilamentFriday Thank you again!
Good video chep, just want to tell you that there's an option in cura to add a brim to the support only. Cheers
That support block modifier opens up a world of possibilities!!!
@Ope Williams For example, if your print has a hole which you know doesn’t actually need supports for but the rest of your print does, you can use the support block modifier to stop that hole from being supported and the rest of the print will still run with supports
as chep suggests, you can change infill for different parts of the print
I realize this video is over a year old and recorded with a previous version of Cura, but FYI for anyone watching - there is now a 'Enable Support Brim' option that only prints a brim under the supports.
you have no idea how much trouble this saved me I give my thanks to you!
There are additional support/brim options in Cura 3.6 that are awesome. "Enable Support Brim" will create a brim inside the support instead of those lines, "Tower Diameter" will make small supports wider at the bottom, and "Brim Replaces Support" will use the model brim as the first support layer instead, which combined with "Brim Distance" of ~0.2mm means you create a brim around the model for the supports, but it isn't actually touching it so you don't have to remove it.
Thanks. I’ve just begun playing with that.
There's a quicker way to do this in Cura 3.6.
Click on model and then post processing. Click on z axis.
You can adust anything from temp to speed to infill per layer.
You can add multiple changes aswell.
Much faster imo.
Both get the same result.
A change in infill %
I’ll try that. Thanks.
Andrew, I apologize but I do not see the z axis on the post processing... All I have under post processing is "modify G Code". I am new to this and just learning Cura. Trying to teach this old dog new tricks, lol... I have version 3.6
Agreed. It is called ChangeAtZ in my ver of Cura (there is also TweakAtZ) and it is WWAAYYYY easier then what was shown in the video. Sorry, Chuck, but that was a little hard to watch.
@@AaronFlaming I hope he does a video using tweak it Z would be wonderful for new 3D printer owners
Sorry butI don't see where you can change % infill in TweakAtZ (Cura 3.6 on Mac OSX). Am I missing something ?
I had no idea you could use support blocker objects for custom settings, or that you could scale them to different sizes. you have changed my entire printing life. THANK YOU!
That second trick blew my mind!!!
Wow, really great tip on using support blocker, thank you.
Excellent. I knew but forgot#1, # 2 is fantastic and I can see how #3 will be helpful. Thanks..............
What a great communication style you have! I found those Cura tricks the answer to many of my questions.. and NO MUSIC! fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to post this YT video.
I like music fine sir
I've avoided playing too much with Cura's adjustments and settings because I was afraid to mess it up. But your videos inspire confidence, and I appreciate it. Thanks Chuck.
Thanks Chuck! I have only had my Ender 3 for a couple of weeks but your video's along with other's have proven INVALUABLE! I greatly appreciate your time and dedication to helping us all out!
Thank you, Chuck. These tips are great even for seasoned printing people and give great flexibility in Cura.
I wish I could double thumbs up this. I've used this before but forgot how. 1 year later, I came back to this video to refresh my memory. Thanks.
I have been printing for about 2 years now but mostly on an old machine about 8 months ago I brought an ender 3 and I just wanted to say your videos have been a great help!
Thanks for watching
You are the absolute most helpful person to watch on RUclips! I have been wondering how to slice halves! I really am enjoying your amazing Filament Friday Filament!! I will buy more!
FANTASTIC! I had no idea about using a support blocker to modify the infill density. This is perfect because I want to reprint my extruder knob but only needed the bottom part at 100% infill. Thank you!
I just tried this to cut off a part of a model I didn't want printed!!!, eliminated wall thickness, top and bottom and infill, gone!! ,
I came back to this video 4 years later, love these videos for reference for when future me forgets!
Love these videos. I have t watch a few times to follow what to do. I'm a retired old fart trying a new hobby. Thanks for the channel.
Thank you for showing the block settings. That will help me a ton with my prints!!
I've never used that support blocker before but I could have used it a hundred times - I never knew what it was for - EPIC!!!! THUMBS UP!
I meant to like not dislike. I apologize. I changed it. Thank you for the lesson. I’ll be happy to watch you more often.
Good info.. as a side note on your first process for others, in the bottom right side of the screen there is overall dimensions... divide the Z number by 2 and your left with the exact center location... instead of dragging the arrow just type in the negative z value you came up with in your division...
Example- 280mm / 2= 140mm...
Z value is now -140 for dead center...
This is a short but EXTREMELY useful video, this advice is gold. Thanks a lot.
Very cool! I imagine you could do the inverse? Set the entire model for 100%, then put a block in the middle set at 20%? Yeah, it's lazy, but I'm new to all of this so cut me some slack :D
Thanks so much for your super-informative channel!
Thank you so much I am new to 3d printing and your videos have helped me sooo much its crazy. I just want to thank you once again for making these easy to understand and very helpful videos.
Thanks for watching.
This is one of the most helpful 8 minute videos I didn't know I needed to see.
Awesome Chuck thanks!
any idea why i havent got that tab on my cura??? ver 4.8
YES!
I'm a New User and the 3 tricks were very useful. I'm a fast learner and will help others with what I learned in your video. I appreciate your time giving us new users to some insight.
As a beginner, I wanted to say "thanks!" - those are great tips and just cleared a lot of the fog around supports that I had. Great stuff.
You’re welcome
Multi Support Blockers
I just discovered by accident that if you select and adjust the size & settings of the an initial Block, with it selected, right click and chose 'Multiply Selected Model'. You then have copies of the Block including their settings.
OMG I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH YOU HELPED SOOOOOO MUCH THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I had no idea you can set different settings for certain parts of the print. So helpful. Thank you
Unbelievable! I did not know you can define infill with the region markers. And I am printing a lot since 10+ years. Thank you so much for sharing!
How do I find the region makers? That seemed to have been skipped.
you can just enable support brim. (hidden feature you need to make visible) and then it print a solid base for the support
I cover that here:
ruclips.net/video/7BURpQNXrDA/видео.html
What are the odds you could redo this video for new version of cura? I've tried changing infill area with new version but can't figure it out.
second this request - can't find the buttons
Watch this. I cover it. ruclips.net/video/D39rIi8zKfk/видео.html
Excellent video. This is the first video I have found that explains the blocker function in Cura. Good information.
The varying infil is going to make such a difference, can't believe I've been printing this long and didn't know you could do that!
I’m just starting so this is huge for me. Thx.
WOW.. Ive bookmarked and subscribed.. I wish there where more Cura tutorials like yours. Had my 3d printer 2 weeks and have learned the hard way.. I have a question, I saw a nice vase on thingyverse , scaled it down and forgot to change the infil so I ended up with similar to your little keychain which I was happy to keep BUT it enclosed the top. I looked at the designers comments and he referred to print using vase settings (which are available in slicer for fusion 360) My question is .. is there a similar setting in Cura or a way to stop it closing the top of the shape. I much prefer using Cura at this point. PS Im using the Cura Beta 4.4.0 because it is already set up for Alfawise U30
Look for spiral mode in Cura
I knew about the supports blockers, but I had no idea you coulduse it for varying settings in 1 model. Thanks!
Used the infill trick today. Saved about an hour, over doing the entire print at 100%.
Also used the brim method to help with the tree supports. I also on the same print used the support roof to give the better finish(saw that in a different video of yours).
You have been a help over the last year of 3d printing.
For those wonder why they can not click on "Per model settings". You need to click on the "custom" button on the right hand hand next to "recommend".
Good catch. I’m always on Custom so didn’t realize it was needed.
thanks for the tip - i have been screwing with this for the past couple of hours figuring i was missing something simple, but i just could not get the button to allow me to activate it. this did the trick!
@@ryangeiser6914 :) always a pleasure to help :)
Hi can you do this in cuts 4.8?
Thanks
Holy-moly! I’m using Cura for more than two months now and had no idea it can do that advanced tricks like variable infill. Chip for the win!
Been printing for 2 years and I've learned something new today. Thank you!
I've been looking for the Support Blocker Tool, on my screen for the last hour, what am I missing. 4.7.1.
It pretty much works similar, but not the same. The Icon is the striped one with a small box on the bottom right. Click your model, then click that icon then click anywhere on the model. It will make a box, you can resize it and change settings as you need. But it doesn't do supports anymore for that click the marketplace button and install the plugin support blocker. It will add a new icon there. Hope that helps. It confused me as well but it's still there.
this as all change in the new cura 5.2 i have no idea what to do
Thanks for those! I'd never considered varying the infill density on my prints, but I can see all kinds of great use cases for that second trick. - I appreciate you sharing!
THANK YOU CHUCK! Your videos have been super helpful! I got my first printer (CR10) less than a week ago and I've learned SO MUCH and improved my prints from watching your videos!
Need a new video since made changes to their software please!
do know how we can do this in Cura 4.12 seems that the support blocker has gone away
it's stil there. select model and press E
The icon changed in the newer version but still lower left. Also be sure supports are turned on. I had it off and if you click nothing happens until supports are turned on.
OMG after exactly 2 years these infos are still lifechanger :) thanks.
@CHEP, this video is really timely; I gave a presentation/demonstration of using Cura 3.6 to a 3D printing meetup group yesterday evening. Many people in this meetup were quite new to 3D printing, and some had only seen older versions of Cura which came with some imported / low-cost printers, so went over the basics of navigating the software and its settings. A few people who already knew the basics asked some questions which I could not answer, and then here today you answered the exact questions which were asked; how to use those bottom two buttons on the left edge of the screen. Nicely done!
Cura won’t let me split objects by lowering it under the bed, it says i can’t when I click slice
same
I'm using CURA 4.6 all I can say I must be dumb because I can not find where to turn on this view
Same but I’m now on 4.7
The block infill trick was a life saver for me on a recent print. I did it wrong the first time and didn't check the preview but got it right the second time. Thanks a bunch!!
This was by far the most helpful advice I’ve come across with 3D printing. Subscribed.
I'm not seeing the support block plugin in Cura 4.9.0. Do you think they've gotten rid of that option and do you have another suggestion if so?
Its called custom supports. Install it by going to marketplace up in the right hand corner and adding it it from the list of plug-ins.
How do I do this in Cura 4.8 😬
literally the same way, I just did it in 4.8
@@scottmcphee7730 i don't have the support blocker button in 4.8, any idea how to get it?
@@scolley13 It's a plugin. Check the marketplace menu for the supports addon
The plugin is called 'Custom Supports' and does not come with a fresh Cura 4.8.0 install. The icon has also changed a little from the video. It is now a solid "staircase" versus in the video the top stair has a white background with an "x" in it.
@@mattklein999 @Scott McPhee THANK YOU ! :D
1 year later, this video is still helping. Those are AWESOME tips! Having just hurled a print into the wall in frustration, since I couldn't get the bloody supports off, I *really* wish I had found this 24 hours ago, right before that print started!! :-) On the positive side, it was a round death star pen holder, and it exploded just like the death star did in the movies: spectacularly! And since it was PLA, it didn't damage my wall, woohoo!
Whoa, after dozing through endless vids, the youtube algo finally rewarded me with someone who just delivers quality content. Thank you!
Good stuff now if it works in 4.8 in which I can't find how in theee hell you did this. haha
I just found this video and am looking for how to do it in 4.8 also!
edit: I think I figured it out, click off the model to deselect it then click the bottom icon on the left side of the screen. Then click where you want the box to do, so you can resize and move it.
Instead create a big useless, time waster,brim ALL around the model.. JUST "ENABLE BRIM" under SUPPORT :) save a lot of time, filament...
Doc.W.Bishop I was wondering if that was a thing when I was watching this video.
The infill selection helped out tons. Thanks.
Two things...I'm so glad you made this, and I'm super happy I found this!!
Thank you so much, as a beginner this tricks are pure gold
I'm kicking myself for never having watched your channel before. I kept hearing about you, but I never actually sat down and watched a video. After somewhere around a year of 3d printing, I can finally say I'm getting decent prints because of your videos. They're concise and packed with useful information. Thanks so much!
Thanks, but I’m curious, what kept you away for so long?
@@FilamentFriday It was nothing you did. In fact, it was really nothing at all. I had heard of you in videos and articles that would come up when I google something related to 3d printing, but every video I came across did a pretty poor job of explaining things, and things like temp & retraction towers (thanks for those videos too, btw!) seemed excessively difficult and time consuming and basically out of reach. I just sort of assumed that this was all way more complicated than it is and that your videos would be more of the same. When your video was the result on google for once, I instantly saw the difference, and why those other videos and articles mention you. To be perfectly clear, I've never heard a bad word about you, and I wasn't rebelling against the popular guy or something. I had no negative impression of you or anything like that. I just hadn't actually made it to your channel yet. I'm sorry there's nothing actionable in my answer, nothing to fix and increase exposure. I just derped around like an idiot for a year.
Thanks. That was good feedback. It implies I need to do a better job promoting my approach of makjng 3D printing easier for everybody especially beginners.
@@FilamentFriday Yeah, I guess you could say that. Maybe if I heard you were THE guy for beginners to go to, I might have paid more attention. I can't swear that I didn't hear that, though. I'll definitely be spreading the good news to whoever might be willing to listen in the future. For now, you keep making them and I'll keep watching. Thanks again for all the great info.
I went out and bought an Ender 3 after watching your videos for a couple days.
You are AWESOME with directions and teaching!
Thanks
Very instructive video !! Thank you !
Processes in Cura! That's some cool schizz! Thank you, brother! Going to be very handy!
yay, Space Team!
Thank you for all the tricks and shortcuts. Learning all of these shortcuts would take hours and hours of reading and test prints.
Your videos are invaluable. Cheers
love the infill trick thank you
Been trying to figure out changing the infill with support blocker for forever! THANK YOU
Thank you for the tip on infill density at different parts!
Thanks. I didn't realize I could have different amounts of infill density at different levels. Keep up the good work.
Should do, just different settings. Give it a try if you haven't already.
good video, I did wonder about infill at different layers. Maybe keep doing cura help videos with things like the experimental tree support, they always seem to snap halfway up for me
Wow...great content and so many good practical tips! wished I watched this 2 years ago when I first started. thanks so much
Super helpful. I'm fairly new to this and I've been having issues with supports breaking away - your tips have solved it! I didn't realise how powerful Cura can be for preparing the print. Thanks!
chep, you are the man we all need
Thanks for detailed information
Thank you to Help us i am advanced users but learn good tips !
It is cold in France too
I soooooo wish I would've found this video a few days ago... Exactly the feature I was looking for. Needed to harden 1 part of a large print. 100% infill all the way through would've been 2days, 23hrs to print. Now, it's down to a little over 12hrs and about 1/4 the plastic in total. Thx.
The infill changer is what I really needed thanks!
Nice tricks. Cura certainly evolved a lot in the last year or so. I switched to S3D because I needed better control over supports, but Cura's overlap technique seems actually better now.
For the brim example, you could also set the support infill pattern from “Zig Zag” to “Lines”, that will make the first layer of the supports fully cover their surface area with plastic
This Channel is a lifesaver! Your videos have helped me get my prints looking amazing!
Excellent video. Wish I’d seen this two days earlier but now I know, I get to print again!
I saw that Cura could do the model overlap settings in the past, but I never understood how it worked. They weren't real clear. This was real clear. Thanks Chuck.
Glad it helped.
Today I learned what non uniform scaling is... I've been adding like 1000 support blocks to my prints where I don't want supports! Thanks!
I have been printing for over a year i find tour channel amazing. Genius dude your trick with the infill is genius you teach me something every time I watch your videos.
You rock, I love your channel. I am learning a lot and I really appreciate it. I'm 53 and just starting to learn this. Again thank you
Thank you, Chep! i was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to modify the gradual infill; when i could've been just using the per model settings with the support blocks! its perfect
Thanks Chuck!
Great vid!! I didn't realize that's how the support blocker worked thats super cool. As for support the experimental tree support works really well. It's kind of a hidden feature.
I always come back to this video to relearn how to make solid sections for my prints. Thanks again !!!
Brilliant video mate, thanks. I’ve been using Cura for over a year and had no idea I could alter the infill across sections of the model.
Perfect pedagogy. Pretty helpful even for "seasoned" Cura users. Thank you.
