Support Overhang Angle

The Support Overhang Angle setting determines the minimum angle at which support structures are generated for overhanging parts of a 3D print. It is measured from the vertical, meaning a lower angle will result in more supports being generated, while a higher angle will result in fewer supports.

Recommended values: A typical range for the Support Overhang Angle is between 45 to 60 degrees. Adjust based on the specific geometry of the model and the capabilities of the printer. Testing with different angles can help determine the optimal setting for a given print.
