Understand Your Support Understanding
Supports are one of those settings most people either ignore completely or crank up to maximum and hope for the best. Neither works. Get them wrong and you’re either scraping fused plastic off your model with a chisel or watching a tall print slowly lean over like it gave up halfway through. Get them right and they practically fall off in your hand.
This guide walks through every support setting in PrusaSlicer that actually matters — from threshold angles and pattern types to the two distance values most beginners never touch. By the end you’ll know exactly what to change, why it matters, and how to preview it before a single gram of filament moves.
