AM03 tips of slice
In short, direction is important.
These are same model and the difference is direction.
You can see “Printing Time” and “Material Wt” (Material Length, Material Cost are same meaning).
Compare these Sliced data,
1 is take 30 minutes more than others._______ (① 2h28m, ②1h50m, ③1h44m, ④1h45m)
1, 3 are consume more Material Wt than 3 or 4. (① 70g, ②61g, ③73g, ④54g)
Printing time increases with print amount. The difference of amount of Material comes from support size at this time.
The higher the height, the more likely it is to be misaligned layer by layer; although the 3D printer is accurate to the coordinates, it cannot place the filament properly depending on vibrations and the state of the previous layer’s modeling.
In these for direction, I prefer 4 at most. because it has less support and Because it’s a direction that seems stable and printable.
In conclusion when you choose direction of model, It would be better to try to keep the height low and provide less support.
