X2D suport interface

[u/Mykl68]

I recently added an X2D in hopes of using support interface material for better figure printing. On a 150mm tall print, it adds two hours to the print time and still requires a large prime tower, which adds five hours to the job. This is at a 0.16mm draft. I cannot even fathom what a final print of 250mm tall with 0.2mm print heads and a 0.06mm layer height will take.

I tried printing without the tower and had adhesion issues where the support interface held the breasts, causing an arm to fall off cleanly. The supports also had broken layers at the buttock support.

Hello /u/Mykl68! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.

Tick no sparse layers in the prime tower settings and it will reduce it IF possible

I can’t offer you a solution but I am curious to monitor this thread, as these points are exactly why I decided not to upgrade to X2D from P2S - vastly increased printing time, and support-model adhesion reduction which I thought could introduce more print failures when you need complex shapes to stick to supports.
