Brim ears Painting

This painting tool allows you to paint brim ears on the base of your 3D model to improve bed adhesion during printing.
It also includes an Auto-generate feature that automatically detects and applies brim ears to suitable areas of the model.

Important

NEW FEATURE: The Head diameter control is renamed Brim ear radius and now accepts values from 0.1 mm to 100 mm.
Available in: Nightly builds or Releases greater than 2.4.2.

Parameters

  • Brim ear radius: Sets the radius of brim ears placed manually or with Auto-generate. Values from 0.1 mm to 100 mm are supported.
  • Max angle: Defines the maximum angle at which brim ears will be applied with Auto-generate.
  • Detection radius: Lower values can detect more candidate positions. Sets the radius for detecting areas (using the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm) where Auto-generate may place brim ears.
  • Section view: Adjusts the section view height to better visualize brim ear placement.

When Brim type is set to Painted, enable Brim ears outer only in Process > Others > Brim to exclude painted ears placed in holes or other enclosed sections when slicing.
