Configure Support Parameters

This is Support Configuration Panel, where you can import

, export

, and reset

your support profiles.

Z Lift Height: The height distance between the lowest point of the model and the platform.

Support Settings

You can edit Top, Middle, Bottomand Raft of your supports respectively.

Top

Parameter	Explanation
Contact Shape	Selection of top shape of support in contact with model
Contact Diameter(mm)	Diameter dimension of the top of the support in contact with the model
Contact Depth(mm)	Depth dimension of the top of the support in contact with the model
Connection Shape	Connection shape of the top support body
Upper Diameter(mm)	The diameter of the upper end of the top support body
Lower Diameter(mm)	The diameter of the lower end of the top support body
Connection Length(mm)	Length of top support body

Middle

Parameter	Explanation
Shape	Selection of the shape of the central support body
Diameter(mm)	Diameter of the central support body
Angle(°)	Maximum angle between middle part of support and top part of support
Small Pillar Shape	The shape of the contact part of the column support in contact with the model
Diameter(mm)	Diameter size of small column support body
Upper Depth(mm)	The size of the upper end of the column support in-depth model
Lower Depth(mm)	The size of the lower end of the column support in-depth model

Bottom

Parameter	Explanation
Platform Touch Shape	Selection of support shape in contact with printing platform
Touch Diameter(mm)	Diameter dimension of support in contact area with printing platform
Thickness	Thickness dimension of support in contact area with printing platform
Model Contact Shape	The contact shape of the lower end of the support in contact with the model when the bottom of the support falls on the model
Contact Diameter(mm)	The diameter of the lower part of the support in contact with the model when the bottom of the support falls on the model
Contact Depth(mm)	Depth dimension of the lower part of the support in contact with the model when the bottom of the support falls on the model
Contact Point	The number of contact points at the lower end of the support in contact with the model when the bottom of the support falls on the model

Raft

Parameter	Explanation
Raft Shape	Selection of the shape of bottom valve in contact with printing platform
Raft Area Ratio(%)	Sets the area scale of the bottom valve, which is the ratio of the total area of the bottom valve relative to the total area projected by the model to the printing platform
Raft Thickness(mm)	The thickness of the bottom valve
Raft Height(mm)	Height dimension of bottom valve
Raft Slope(°)	Tilt angle between bottom valve side and printing platform

Auto/Manual Support

Cross Width (mm): When manually adding supports, whether adjacent supports add the maximum distance value of the cross structure, when the distance between adjacent supports exceeds this value, the cross structure is not added.

Cross Start Hight (mm): When the support height exceeds this value, a cross structure will be added between adjacent supports.

Density (%): When automatically adding supports, the density of supports.

Angle (°): The model is allowed to add support to the maximum tilt angle, which is the angle between the model surface and the platform.

NOTE

To improve the accuracy of distances between supports, the Density(%) parameter in CHITUBOX Basic was replaced by the Middle Distance(mm) in CHITUBOX Pro.

This button automatically adds supports based on platform only.

This button automatically adds supports (supports on model allowed).
