Why? Because they can be a pain to remove. All sorts of fancy glues, build surfaces, and more have been employed to avoid using them. However, despite their utility, many people have spent countless hours tweaking and tuning their printers so that brims are unnecessary. They can be an invaluable tool when printing small or thin parts, or parts that are top-heavy. They increase the surface area of your part on the print bed so that it is less likely to come loose during printing. Brims have been a long-standing solution to adhesion issues. The order in which brims are printed has been tweaked so that they are now easier to remove. The new Smart Brim setting in Cura 5.4 takes the hassle out of removing brims In order to help get the most out of these new tree supports, you will be able to modify several new settings, they are: Slicing is now done on multiple cores meaning you won’t have to wait very long for your tree supports to grow! And better yet, you won’t just experience faster print times, but also faster slicing times. They should also be significantly easier to remove and are also less likely to leave behind scarring on the surface of your completed print. As a result, tree supports will now use even less filament and therefore take even less time to print. These new supports use more and smaller branches rather than fewer larger ones that previously tended to merge together. Now, multiple years and many lines of code later, his idea has finally made it into an official Cura release for everyone to use. Rather than complain, Thomas Rahm began figuring out how to make them better and in June of 2020, he created a fork of Cura to do just that. However, for one user, they did not go far enough. For many many people, tree supports were successful in doing that. When we first released tree supports, the aim was to help users to use less material, reduce print times, and end up with cleaner prints.
