This is a battery cell case that was a pain last time I printed it with supports
As a total beginner, it’s not really clear to me what’s meant here. I read printing some things are better to print at an angle, like boxes, for additional strength. Is that what’s meant here?
I think OP is putting it at an angle so there are no 90 degree overhangs and so the model doesn’t need support added or removed.
What exactly is the difference to just printing it standing?
Less overhangs?
That’s one, but if you are priting a particularly delicate part, printing at an angle could strengthen the part significantly
That’s actually genius, thanks for the tip man
That’s so smart! Thanks for the tip
Ohh nice, battery pez dispenser!
Is that considered a raft + supports or just supports on there?
Just supports, I had to manually paint them in to prevent the slicer from putting them all the way up the side
In Orca slicer, if you use tree supports and hybrid, an option appears (advanced must be enabled) for something like “Essential supports only”. It is so much better than spending all that time adding or blocking supports.
Looks like the model is just resting on supports. Might have a roof or “support interface” (a layer between supports and model)
