How To Create Resin To FDM Supports In Slicer?

Import the resin model and the FDM support model into the slicer

Align both models to the same coordinate system and build plate origin

Scale the support model to match the resin part dimensions if needed

Place the support model directly under the resin overhangs or contact points

Set the support model as a separate object or modifier mesh

Use support blockers to prevent automatic supports on the resin model where the FDM support will be used

Enable custom supports or manual support painting if available

Generate supports only for the FDM support model

Disable supports for the resin model if the FDM support is replacing them

Adjust support density, interface layers, and contact Z distance for the FDM support

Slice and preview the toolpaths to confirm the FDM support matches the resin geometry

Export the G-code for the FDM printer

Print the FDM support and use it as the physical support structure for the resin part

If needed, create a negative or mold-style support shape by duplicating the resin geometry and offsetting it in the slicer

Use mesh editing or CAD software first if the slicer cannot generate the required support geometry directly
