Print Bed Tabs for Better Adhesion (Easy Removal Support Tabs)

simple print bed tab designed to improve adhesion for prints with sharp corners and reduce warping during printing.

These tabs can be added in your slicer to help anchor models to the build plate, especially for parts with small contact areas or corners prone to lifting. Once the print is complete, the tabs are easy to remove and can also make part removal from the bed easier.

Perfect for improving reliability without needing brims or rafts.
