First Step to Manual Supporting: Fixing Islands in Lychee Slicer | Tutorial

[@TheCatHerder]

Despite having manually supported models for 3 years, still learned a lot from this video! I've been over supporting and didn't know about the layer preview setting.

[@Lychee3d]

Thanks for your comment! :D

[@XViper123]

Area filtering was something I was sleeping on for sure. Definitely going to start using that now.

[@Lychee3d]

Such a great tool! :D

[@MrHarold]

Another fantastic video... thank you for this series.

[@Lychee3d]

Thank you! :D

[@nightlurker]

Thanks for another great video. Didn't know about Area Filtering and will now defiantly be using it to help with islands. Please keep these great tips coming.

[@Lychee3d]

[@Lychee3d]

Thank you! Next time he'll got it right ahah

[@J3DTech]

@@Cardoso.3d Ah I didn't get it right 😭

[@rottiehood3872]

Nice tutorial on supports. Maybe an in depth tutorial on anti-aliasing in the near future? Thanks Derek.

[@Lychee3d]

Noted will do! Thank you!

[@boot_leg_ramen_noodle]

At the 10:00 min mark the support is red. I thought red was bad and I delete these. Supports I place manually, not ones that come up in the proximity scan. Please explain and Thanks !

[@J3DTech]

It means that they are a bit too close to the model and may collide, however Internal and so it doesn't matter.

[@Lychee3d]

As it was an internal support, it doesn't matter if the support is too close :)

[@claudiosettiart]

Great video, Derek! Is there a tutorial on setting up custom support sizes/ types like you showed in this video?

[@Lychee3d]

Thanks! Will do one for sure!

[@hcatarrunas]

Maybe have the internal islands be visually different? (ex. Light purple vs Grey and Dark purple vs Red) Hope some kind of locking/hiding gets implemented in the future (ex. ctrl+1 hide, ctrl+2 lock, and ctrl+shift number to show/unlock)

[@Lychee3d]

Great idea! Will submit it to our product team :D

[@marco_carrillo]

I'm using the free version, if I chose to delete some islands, are they removed from the object or just no longer listed? I seen the number of islands decrease and no more red dots on the layer preview.

[@J3DTech]

@@marco_carrillo You're not deleting the islands your just deleting the island detection. The only way to have no islands is to support them all or delete the entire object but then what are you going to print?

[@balmighty81]

Any pro/con to using a screen protector? i just got a saturn 4 ultra

[@J3DTech]

@@balmighty81 They come with a screen protector, adding an additional will hurt the overall quality of the print. The benefit is a little more protection.

[@balmighty81]

@J3DTech ahhhh ok, thank you

[@bubaart]

are auto supports slightly wasteful

[@imonters]

I love how informative your videos are, but the constant camera switching was way too distracting in this video 😞

[@J3DTech]

It was my first attempt at doing a multi Camera setup and maybe my last 😂

[@themagpiebird]

love the information you gave, but yeah the rapid camera changes were a little excessive.

[@Lychee3d]

Thanks for your feedback! Will keep in mind for next time :D
