A setter assembly for use in additive manufacturing a binder-jet part includes a base, a first setter component having a first setter portion and a second setter portion that may be removably coupled to the first setter portion and a plurality of protrusions disposed on and extending away from a surface of the base. The plurality of protrusions may align the base with the first setter component and enable coupling of the first setter component to the base. The setter assembly also includes a second setter component positioned between the base and the first setter component. The second setter component is disposed on the surface and the first setter component, the second setter component, and the base can be assembled onto a printed part such that at least a portion of the printed part is nested between the first setter component and the second setter component.
