I have a Prusa i3 Tevo Tarantula I am using Cura to slice the print and the Drivers for the Printer have been replaced with Marlin, I am trying to Print PLA.

My problem: I can successfully print things however whenever I need to break off supports the area where the supports were is rough and looks terrible

this is what it looks like after I break off the supports. any side that does not have supports turns out great like so.


what settings can I change to improve these supports?

my print infill density is 90% with a ZigZag Pattern

Wall thickness: 1 mm

top/bottom thickness: 0.8 mm

Layer Height: 0.1 mm

Initial Layer Height:

my supports have the following settings:

Support Placement: Everywhere

Support Pattern: ZigZag (I have tried Lines and Grid both gave same results)

Support Density: 10% (I have tried 20%)
