Fortus 250mc
This page shall contains information, hints and tips about the Fortus 250 mc.
Support structures
Support structures are normally smallest in either the smart or breakaway configurations.
Breakaway support may create thin square tubes (5mm parallellogram) below thin structures. If these tubes get higher than approximately 3cm there is a chance that they will topple. If you can see that your design consist of structures such as this that are taller 3cm, you might want to select different support options.
Support and build material may bridge gaps of up to 2-3cm! However there is no guarantee that this actually will work. Having the printer make long gaps may also be tricky.
