Printing With Supports

Overview

Nylon is a rugged, durable material that is eﬀective at creating ﬁxtures, handles, levers and

other parts that need to be strong. Many nylon parts require additional support and INF

material works well as support material for nylon. Nylon material has four (4) options for

supporting parts and some may be combined for optimal results.

NOTE: Nylon material is not the preferred material for detailed parts.

Nylon parts may warp when they contain large, ﬂat, overhanging features or long

rectangular, round beams. For best printing results, add supports to your build ﬁle.

CubePro software provides four (4) options for adding supports:

Nylon Supports

INF Supports

Nylon and INF (Auto-Combination Supports)

Manual Supports - These supports can be combined with any of the other three

options.

Nylon Supports

Nylon supports are eﬀective, general purpose supports that require post-processing to cut

and clean the support attachment points. These supports provide the most support for

preventing warp, and of the other options, require the most post-processing to remove

them.

Select a NYL option from the Support Material drop down menu in the Build Settings utility.
