When it comes to 3D modeling for 3D printing, layer orientation is an important factor to consider when it comes to strength and aesthetics. Watch the video below to find out more:
As you learned in the video, 3D-printed parts are notoriously weak along the layer lines and can cause artifacts on curves that resemble the steps on stairs. The best way to fix this is to consider the print orientation. If you print a cylinder vertically, it will be easy to break, but if you print it flat on the bed, it will be much more durable. Another meaningful trick you can use is to round the corner to reduce stress concentration.
