![]() Measurement tool is another feature long demanded by our community. As of now printing with zero interface layers is recommended, which produces easy to remove supports. Interface layers are not always produced reliably.Variable layer height is not supported.Top / bottom vertical separation distances are rounded to multiples of layer height.For large models with a lot of supports, 16GB RAM minimum is recommended.The Organic supports currently pose the following limitations: Avoid crossing curled overhangs reduces risk of print head kicking the model and angled tree supports off the build plate.Automatic FDM support painter produces the right amount of supports for sufficient model stability.We recommend to use the Organic supports together with the following two new features (see their respective sections below): Like other support types implemented in PrusaSlicer, Organic supports can be enforced or blocked using the Paint-on supports tool. The algorithm automatically uses double perimeter walls for the trees where needed to improve structural capabilities. The supports are easily removable, do not scar the surface and are fast and cheap to print. We would like to thank Ultimaker Cura and (see his Reddit post) for the effort they have invested into the problem. The algorithm is based on implementation of tree supports, which are significantly improved tree supports originally from Cura. In this release, we are presenting our implementation of tree supports, which we decided to call 'Organic supports' because of their smooth shape. The community has rightfully complained that not having this style of supports in PrusaSlicer is a severe disadvantage. This results in a better surface of the original model. Branches of supports are generated where needed and limit contact areas to a necessary minimum. We improved some of these downsides by introducing the "Snug" supports in PrusaSlicer 2.4.0, but they are still an upgraded version of the old and limited approach.Īn alternative approach, which was pioneered by different 3D modeling softwares and slicers are "Tree supports" - support structures designed to save material and printing time as much as possible. While the approach produced reasonably good results in many cases, they often consumed quite a lot of filament, took a long time to print, ended up in spaces where they are difficult to remove from and left visible scars on the model when removed (especially when the settings were not tuned correctly). Until now, PrusaSlicer's supports consisted of 2D "scaffolding" created on a regular 2D grid. ![]() Please open the 2.6.0-alpha2 release log to see the complete change log. Github clips this text at the release history overview. There are of course many more improvements and bugfixes. Cut tool now allows orienting the cut plane and adding connectors, there is a possibility to download files directly from and several new features were added in order to improve FDM print quality. It brings the most anticipated Organic supports, measurement tool and text embossing tool. This is the first public alpha release of PrusaSlicer 2.6.0 (alpha1 was not public). The link will be at the end of this article. Please keep in mind that this is a ALPHA release, so in case you encounter a error, please remember to submit a ticket through our github. There are a lot of new features, improvements and bug fixes. We are happy to announce the public release of PrusaSlicer 2.6.0- Alpha2
