Hello again. I've just started using MeshMixer to add support to objects, but I'd like a little more distance between the main object and the support pillars. Any idea on that? Just to be clear, I'm talking about the sides of the support in relation to the side of the object.
Meshmixer does a good job with the support aspects of objects so far. You might have to add an extra support here or there. But it's pretty easy (Video tutorials exist as well).
Related: What if you were to built your own support material, how far away from the model would you put it? Would you touch it?
Thanks
