Walls:
3–4

Infill:

✔ Shell adds structural rigidity
 

🧱 Supports
 

Recommended for:

Tree supports recommended for clean results.
 

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING

Add brims to supports and parts. This is critical for proper adhesion and print stability.
The platform upload process did not allow this to be configured properly, so you will need to apply it manually in your slicer.
