Yes it's important to think about how it will print when modeling. Most of the things I've downloaded have been quite well designed though.

With the last part, bridging can also work very well. Depending on the printer, it can be nearly identical to a supported top.

I like these solutions for 'features' rather than parts, as they can be applied in combination on a range of parts as needed. I also like the emphasis of designed supports vs. auto-generated support. This seems small, but is not necessarily obvious. I've designed brims, adhesion tabs, anchors, bridges, etc, and these require much less material AND are can be more reliable and easily removable than the generated stuff. This doesn't matter as much for a one-off part, but if you're printing a large quantity, is well worth the effort.

Play around in the slicer to have inner most wall or bottom layer printed first following the circle. Circular paths don’t need much support for overhangs and produces nice domes. It can be tricky to make the slicer do this only for the specific area.

Excellent advice with making a completely flat interior to basically help generated supports do their job. I have done angles in domes and hand made supports (and printed upside down, easier to sand the outside!) but never tried that, very clever
@Iisakki3000

When I needed to print a dome like that, I personally solved that problem by making a flay spot in the top and printing it upside down. Good option for when you don't need it to be a perfect dome and it still looks nice.

reducing the layer height at the higher layers will also reduce the overhang that will be printed in each layer.

I'm curious if there's a reason you didn't mention bridging when you've flattened out the interior geometry? On a well dialed in machine and correctly sliced file you probably don't need any supports that way.

Another option is to design it with the flat section similar to your auto generated support option, but don't use supports. Bridging can work surprisingly well with the right design and with the right printer.

the best way for domes is to print them upside down with a small brim - i know i know bla bla brim bad but if you get send a dome and you cant change the design - print it as a bowl

Last example of where you cut the lower part of the dome can be done without supports. Just dial correctly the cooling and speed of the bridge and it will contract the plastic and support itself. IT would looks the same or even better than the supported one You can try bridging from 20mm/s to 60 or even 80mm/s

Hey! Just curious, do you print your custom supports at the same speed as everything else? Or do you have a way to tell the slicer they're just supports and print them differently, like faster? Idea here is to save some time on printing support material. It may not be a huge deal for one-off prints, but maybe it can add up when mass producing, no?
@lajoyalobos2009

I think this is currently a limitation in today's slicing software and less so with the FDM process itself. Fullcontrolxyz shows some crazy overhangs and I think could easily create a clean dome as intended (there are these frequent challenges, sometimes including 90 degree overhangs), however that's likely somebody sitting down and manually writing clever gcode and not something most slicers are able to do... yet. This may be a job for AI, integrating with Cura, Prusa, Orca ect and figuring out how to print domes and upside down screw holes without supports or clever modeling tricks.

I would think most printers can just bridge that flat top to the inner dome without support. I know my printer can bridge 2 or 3 inches really well. You only get into trouble when a section is hanging in the open with nothing to hold the other side.

Surely if you have a flat inner surface, it would be bridging (like in the section with the supports), rather than using generated supports, you could just print as is and given there's enough cooling to support the bridging, it should print without issue

@@slant3d A lot of printers (that I've seen/used) with decent cooling can do ~5cm of bridging with correct settings, and proper cooling fairly easily. You could do a stair step (similar to what the Voron team use for through holes) up to a height where the bridging section is around the same distance. This would take more time with the modelling and experience with the printer to get right, and a printer with adequate cooling to achieve, but if you're batching out parts, could be a big filament and time saver in the long run. Obviously, this would only work to a certain extent, but from my (admittedly relatively small amount of) personal experience, with mine, and my friend's printers, should be feasible up to around helmet sized prints

In my experience, 0.5mm top gap between the support and model, is excessive. 0.2mm on a 0.16mm layer height is ideal, breaks right off super easy but leaves a near perfect layer. If you’re using thicker layers like 0.2, I’d just use 0.25-0.27mm top gap for the support interface.
