• Supports: Recommended
• Material: PLA, PLA+, PETG, or equivalent
• Brim: Optional for added stability

Support Recommendations

For the cleanest results, use your slicer's Support Interface (also called Support Roof or Dense Interface depending on the slicer). A support interface creates a smooth separation layer between the model and supports, making support removal significantly easier while improving the finish quality on the underside of the wings and fuselage.

Recommended settings:

• Enable Support Interface
• Interface Layers: 2–4
• Interface Density: 70–90%
• Support Z Distance: 0.20 mm (adjust for your printer and material)

These settings help reduce scarring and make post-processing faster and cleaner.
