Width of DIY Supports
One of the complications with DIY supports is getting the widths correct. In these examples, the final print uses a .4 or .45mm extrusion width. When slicing software generates supports it is able to generate the final extrusion as single width passes; however, with these DIY supports, they appear just as any other object part does, so the slicer handles these just as it would an object. At present, most slicing software (that I've used) has limited ability to handle these "thin walls". As such, I end up going back and forth between the model and the slicing software to ensure there aren't gaps in the supports. I often sacrifice and allow multiple passes (small rectangles, for example) in the support walls.
