Bed Adhesion
Breakaway support material adheres to whatever build surface your main material uses. Bed temperature should match the main filament. After printing, snap off supports mechanically — no solvents needed.
Temperature Tuning Guide
Nozzle: 225°C
Range: 210-240°C. Printer max: 260°C.
- Poor layer adhesion? Increase +5°C
- Stringing or oozing? Decrease -5°C
- Print a temperature tower to find your exact sweet spot
Bed: 60°C
Range: 50-70°C. Printer max: 90°C.
- First layer lifting? Increase +5°C
- Elephant's foot? Decrease -5°C
- Let the bed fully preheat before starting
Troubleshooting Breakaway Support on Anycubic Kobra 2 Max
Pro Tips for Breakaway Support
Breakaway supports snap off mechanically -- no solvents or water required
Adjust Z-gap and interface density to balance support strength vs. ease of removal
Breakaway is faster to remove than soluble supports like PVA/BVOH for simple overhangs
Use soluble supports instead for complex internal geometries where mechanical access is difficult
Support Settings
For prints requiring supports with Breakaway Support, use tree supports for easier removal and less scarring. Set a 0.15-0.2mm Z-distance between support and model. If you have a dual-extruder setup, consider PVA (for PLA/PETG) or HIPS (for ABS) as dedicated water/solvent-soluble support material.
