Hi All
What Slicing Software will allow me to add custom supports and select / identify the supports to be printed in a different material (soluble).
I am using a Duel head FDM machine.
Hope you can help
kind regards

hi simplyify 3d will do it but you can split the print into two shells or the same way you do two colour print and use the other fillament for support material but you need mesh mixer or some thing like that rick
To expand on what 3dprintingguy has said, Simplify3d has the most and best settings.
You can deterimine angle of support, thickness, pattern, etc.
You can manually add or remove supports.
You can use the dual extrusion wizard.
You can use its presets for soluable supports.
Etc.
+1 for Simplify3D!
this all well and good but what happens if he has not got $1.100.dollars to get it where you can do on free sites and use creatware ric
Simplify3D costs $149, not $1,100. Yes it’s not free, but if you want to have the most control of support structures and be able to edit just about everything about them, Simplify3D is the way to go. There is no other slicing program that comes close to Simplify’s capabilities with support generation.
Free slicers like Cura work fine for most prints, but Woz specifically asked about support generation for dual extruders.
Hi Rick

I have mesh mixer but new to that software
will look into simplify 3D for sure!
cheers
