RE: 3D Printing: Learn How to Use Raft and Support Material
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. And I do now have a better vision on how this works. The importance of raft and support is significant I see. Looking forward to the follow up.
For consumer grade 3D printers using thermoplastic filament they play a significant role, so usually people designing 3D models for home printing do take these and other important factors when working... and of course also print a sample of their own designs just to check for problematic areas.
For services that offer you to print you a 3D model of your choice from various materials things are often different as the devices and the printing technology used by the high-end machines they use works differently and the use of support material is usually not required. These machines however are usually in the tens and hundreds of thousand USD and are clearly out of the budget that people have for a home 3D printer.
It really gave me a better insight. Curious about the result.
