Support settings for Flexible-X, Tough-X and Premium Flex resin on the Elegoo Saturn
Supporting flexible resin and some tough materials, would require extra attention on the Elegoo Saturn. During printing the resin part is very soft and the supports, support tips and intersection with the model should be big enough to support the models during printing. These settings have been used with succes for Flexible-X on the Elegoo Saturn. Tough-X and Premium Flex would require similar support settings.
