I find the supports printed by Cura are very difficult to remove. I have read and seen videos where the Simplify3D supports are easier to remove. I had to spend the $149 to try S3D but unless I can get better supports from Cura I don’t have any choice.

Also when I say Yes to supports in Cura I don’t have a clue what I should or should not be selecting. Most of the parts I print are small and lots of overhangs I need to support. Perhaps somewhere there is more definite information and/or tutorials for Cura. I am using the current version.

Thanks
