Breakaway Support Breakaway support is a type of support material used in 3D printing that can be manually removed after the print is complete. Unlike soluble supports, which dissolve in a solution, breakaway supports are designed to be easily snapped off without damaging the model. They are often used for models with overhangs, bridges, or complex geometries. Proper settings in slicer software, such as support density and spacing, ensure that breakaway supports provide sufficient stability during printing while remaining easy to remove. Breakaway supports are cost-effective and widely used for functional and aesthetic prints. |
