In MakerWare, when you select the Make
command or Make button, you can check a
box in the Make dialog to specify whether
your object will include automatically
generated support structures.
Supports allow you to print overhanging parts.
Because the MakerBot Replicator 2X cannot
print into thin air, supports provide a base for
overhanging parts of a model. You can easily
remove supports aer building the object.
For an example, look at this bird model
designed by Scintilla. [Fig 10.4]
The thin legs provide almost no support for
the body, so it will not print correctly without
added support material.
Remove support material by tearing it away
with a pair of pliers or your fingers.
Supports can leave surface imperfections
that require finishing of the object. For
details on finishing an object, see the
chapter titled “Finishing Things”.

The Ra Won’t Come O My Object
If you can’t easily remove the ra from your
object, try these solutions:
• Create or edit a custom prole using
the MakerBot Slicer and increase the
“raModelSpacing” setting by .1 mm. This
will increase the separation between the
ra and the model.
• Create or edit a custom prole using
the MakerBot Slicer and increase the
“feedstockMultiplier” by .05 mm. The ra
might be dicult to remove because too
much plastic is being extruded. Changing
this setting will slightly decrease the
amount of plastic extruded.
For information on creating and
editing custom profiles, see our online
documentation at makerbot.com/support/
makerware/documentation/slicer.
