Quick Start

This is the fastest path from opening DragonFruit to exporting a supported model.

1) Open a model

  • Import an STL (or supported scene input).
  • Confirm the model appears in the scene.

2) Prepare the model

  • Rotate and position as needed.
  • Ensure the model sits correctly relative to the build plate.
  • Use transform controls for fine adjustments.

3) Place supports

  • Enter Support mode.
  • Place trunks on required overhang areas.
  • Add branches/auxiliary supports as needed for stability.
  • Turn raft on in Support settings.
  • Tune thickness, chamfer, and wall parameters.

5) Analyze and verify

  • Run island analysis to inspect unsupported areas.
  • Review support paths and contact quality.

6) Export

  • Export the prepared geometry (STL and/or scene formats as needed).
  • Validate in your printer workflow before production use.
