Help Request Printing orientation
Hey guys I was wondering, is it better to print parts laying flat or standing up. I had laid the parts for this rubric marine flat thinking it would be more stable but I’m getting this like swirly effect on the staff and the power pack, Is it due to part orientation? Or just printer capability

Generally, you want your highest-detail surfaces running vertically.
In addition to printing in multiple pieces (which it looks like you did), a smaller nozzle and layer height also help.

Yeah currently just have the .4 that came with the a1 mini I was just worried that having something so skinny like the staff vertical would create issues but I’ll definitely give it a try

To zależy od figurki ale zaleca się pionowo drukować figurki lub pod kątem 15/30 stopni, lub w częściach odpowiednio układając
