Attitude 0 ▲ Shouting Into The Void 1 hour ago · Life · hide · 0 comments I've always tilted my aeroplane models for 3d printing, either nose or tail down, because it gives me smoother surfaces overall.However, I've noticed in recent prints off my Mars 5 that long edges Like wings, when parallel with the print bed, sometimes end up slightly distorted.So with the test print for my Albatros DV, I've tilted it in two axes, and from what I can discern in amongst the forest of supports, it seems to have worked quite well.It does increase print time slightly, as the overall model is taller within the print area, but it's not too bad — this one went from about two hours to two and a half (ish).
