Completely disable supports in GrabCAD print?
I'm trying to print a model without any supports. At first I tried to remove them by playing around with the self-supporting angle bar, but that didn't work. There's no option for "none" under the support style selection, so where can I find the option?
Thanks!

Dear Robert,
There is no option in GrabCAD print to print the 3D model without support. If there is an Overhang part in your design then support is must.
I want this option too.
WE NEED AN OPTION TO TURN THIS OFF
Please make this "turn off support material" or "only build with model material" option.
Hello, please make this an option for your users. The fact that this has been requested since 2019 (and probably before) tells me that GrabCad does not care about the needs of their customers. I am working in nanosystems technology and use an F370 and F120 daily. The parts I print would generally only take a few hours (and do on my Ender 3, a 150 dollar machine for enthusiasts that has more functionality than a 75,000 dollar machine), but end up taking twice as long with the unnecessary supports. So much support material also means a lot of money and material wasted. Plus, having to throw your parts into a bath to dissolve the supports makes a 2 hour print take at least a day. This is useful for complex geometries, but I am not printing complex geometries. The bath also makes it so that I need to re-dry my parts in a dehydrator afterwards, or they will sweat liquid. This can be detrimental to the structural integrity of things like tensile coupons, as it can affect the results of tensile tests and give me inaccurate and inconsistent results. Just let us turn off support material, and maybe take some pointers from prusaslicer so we can have more than 3 infill settings and tweak our prints how we need to.
I agree with all the comments. It seems that Stratasys do not care about their customers. My next machine will be from different manufacturer. AON3D is a good choice.
