ABSTRACT

Printing entertainment design practitioners' supports in a different color provides a quick and easy way to know which material needs to be removed after printing. Once entertainment design practitioners have a fully prepared three-dimensional (3D) model, they are ready to import it into their 3D printer's software. Mouse ears give corners or small contact points more surface area, which provides better adhesion to the build plate; replacing the need for a raft, thereby reducing print time. Like a raft, mouse ears must be removed after printing and may cause blemishes, but the work required for removal is comparatively minimal. Sometimes something as simple as shifting the position of the object causes the slicing software to rethink its print paths and can improve entertainment design practitioners' chances of print success. Some slicing software allows the raft to be customized. Begin by making entertainment design practitioners model flush, level, and centered on the build plate in the slicing software.
