Support material gap carousel
thingiverse
Evaluate support material design with this carousel of 3D-printed sample shapes, featuring different horizontal gaps. Inspired by designs from Thingiverse member barspin, test varying adherence between support surfaces and your 3D model. Gaps range from 0.05 to 0.5mm in 0.01mm increments. Assess optimal support distances before CAD modeling; check out barspin's designs at the provided links. Use this gauge to determine best support gap based on 3D print settings and filament diameter variation. Download STL files or specific gap values, then 3D-print and test each option using the guidelines provided. Expect adherence issues, surface quality variations, and necessary prying to separate surfaces; post-test whitening can be reversed with a flame.
With this file you will be able to print Support material gap carousel with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on Support material gap carousel.
