About this generator

Bridges are spans printed in mid-air between two supports. This test shows the longest span that stays straight.

How to use

  1. Choose the range of spans.
  2. Print without supports.
  3. Check the underside of each bridge for sagging.

Printing tips

  • More cooling and a slower bridge speed improve bridges.
  • Bridge flow below 100% often helps.

My bridges sag. What helps?

More part cooling, a slower bridge speed, and a bridge flow just below 100%.
