There are three workflows to create a stack: Manual, Semi-Automatic, and Critical Features
Manual (Struts + Base) This creates custom, high-level support struts to reduce support volume usage, improve cleaning of parts as a whole stack, and control support placement/scarring. However, this might require more trial and error when you are first starting off. |

Semi-Automatic (Supports + Struts) This uses 3D Sprint's Smart Support function to auto-generate supports and add cross-stack struts for added rigidity during printing. | Roll over to zoom. |
Critical Features - This is similar to Semi-Auto support generation, but uses several support tools like regions or cylinders to avoid supporting textured surfaces and critical features that would otherwise get supported during stacking. | Roll over to zoom. |
