This has been done to make the user\u2019s job easier \u2013 i.e. the support material for printing separate parts of the model will be much less than if the model was modeled as a single part object. Thus, the user saves time, which otherwise could have been wasted at support removal and the printing result will be much accurate and clean, with no outer shell defects.<\/p>\n<p>We proceed by handling and testing each separate component of the 3D figurine in the printing software, such as Cura 15.06, Simplify3D and etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51.png\" rel=\"lightbox[1287]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51.png\" alt=\"Warhammer 40k Chaos Space Marine 3D figurine\" width=\"980\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51.png 980w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-860x439.png 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-680x347.png 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-500x255.png 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-400x204.png 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-250x128.png 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-100x51.png 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-76x39.png 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/51-50x26.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55.png\" rel=\"lightbox[1287]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55.png\" alt=\"3D Printed 40k Chaos Space Marine figurine\" width=\"980\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55.png 980w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-860x439.png 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-680x347.png 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-500x255.png 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-400x204.png 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-250x128.png 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-100x51.png 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-76x39.png 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/55-50x26.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe option for calculating the support angle is a tool that helps us save a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/3d-printing-filament-guide-abs-pla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">printing material<\/a>. If your 3D model is enhanced with a lot of small details and you want it to print clean, position the 3D model with such details facing up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus, when being printed, there will be no need for support as these elements will be extruded by the printer nozzle perpendicularly. Plus, this means all the details will remain intact post-printing, as there will be no need to clean the support off them, which often results in losing the intended accuracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the picture above you can see that the upper limbs (the two components in the center) of the 3D model are positioned on the print bed perpendicularly, with the shoulder joint resting on the print bed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These components have been positioned this way because the most fragile and sensitive elements are the blade-fingers. The support angle for these elements is of 45\u00b0, which means that only the parts that form an angle from 45\u00b0 to 90\u00b0 will print with support. The parts that form a 90\u00b0 angle with the print bed will not need support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/simplify3d-user-guidelines-explained-by-gambody\/\">SIMPLIFY3D USER GUIDELINES OFFERED BY GAMBODY<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your 3D design is adorned with small details that make its surface detailing, place the part that will be most visible after printing face up. Take another look at the picture above, and specifically at the components situated on the side. It is the bolt gun and the cloth. The gun is printed with the gunpoint facing down. This is because the gun, after having been 3D printed, will be attached to the 3D figurine with the point facing down and thus the part where support was used will not get into the field of vision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wall-thickness-3d-printing-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNDERSTANDING WALL THICKNESS FOR 3D PRINTING TO CREATE DURABLE PRINTS<\/a>\u00a0to print strong 3D models.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cloth forms an angle from 0\u00b0 to 20\u00b0. Therefore, the part to which it is attached to the 3D figurine will be positioned on the print bed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 3D figurine\u2019s body was cut in two separate

Rotate and move the part into the 3D printing software, experiment, test, until you are certain that the part will print correctly and accurately. Keep in mind that <strong>3D models print bed positioning<\/strong> is important for accurate results, with less use of support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a recommendation for those who own a desktop 3D printer: it is better to print a single clean, no defect part in a row, than to print several parts at once, trying to save printing material and time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is important to know that the way the 3D models print bed positioning counts for the result of the 3D printing process.
