Tantillus parts with bridges
May 07, 2013 11:34AM
I'm getting to printing some of the larger parts for my Tantillus that seem to have surfaces that require bridging, for example the extruder housing and the Z upper bracket.

Should I slice these with support turned on in KISSlicer, or does 100% infill create those bridges?


Thanks-

I never use support on any of Tantillus's parts and just deal with the few droopy threads. But since KS has such good support it may be worth turning it on for the bottom of the extruder where the gears go as it has a very large span. Also do note that KS does not like all of the STL files and does extrude a few little extra bits where there are errors in the files. All of these extra bits just wipe off easily.

Thanks! I'll keep going with support off. I did see some issues with triangles in KS, but as you said the bumps are very easy to remove.
