For scale resin 3D models, the best supports are light, tree-like or lattice structures with 1–2mm thin contact points—they minimize material waste, reduce post-processing damage, and keep delicate details stable. These supports lower stress on fragile scale features (e.g., miniature edges, architectural textures) and snap off easily without sanding or breaking the model. In slicer software like Lychee Slicer or Chitubox, auto-generated tree supports work well—just tweak contact point size to match your model’s fragility. If testing a new scale design, start with default support settings, then gradually reduce contact area to balance stability and easy removal.
