I bet some solution would be not-so-obvious, like 75 degrees from the horizontal. Simpl圓D would take existing print parameters and give you multiple options. I envision this like a 'driving planner' - Three choices available - fastest, shortest, best gas mileage, for example. And I came back to an interesting situation: when printing half a sphere, which is the best orientation?Ī) open side down - most amount of support needed, top part of sphere suffers from layer granularity, that is, small curves relative to the bed over a large model creates a 'step'ī) open side up - less support needed (significantly less then a) still has layer granularityĬ) open side horizontal - ? Probably the best, but takes the longest amount of time.Īlthough this is just a general case, it would be nice to handle much more complex model.
So, with all this Pokémon Go craze, I decided to print out a Pokeball.
