What Ken said....a limitation of filament printing.......

In Response To: I am no expert, but you must be able to control where they are placed using the printer or CAD software. I've looked at lots of 3D printed parts, and honestly I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so bad. Just like sprues on injection molding, they need to be placed ()

I'm happy with results. Filament is very low cost, very simple set up and easy to maintain. Wait and see end product. Thanks

        Not Dave but I use the same printer and slicer that he's using. You are correct with my resin printer's slicer I can individually place the supports or use the auto function. However with the filament slicer I haven't been able to have the same level of control. *NM*
