Orientation Why it's important - Lychee Slicer | 3D Printing - Featuring Crippled God Foundry - The Rotting One Series Minis

Today we cover orientation and why it can have such a big effect on a print. The peel force or amount of peeling that has to occur can be greatly reduced and mitigate damage to the model as well by using a good angle for supporting. This can be for hollowed or non-hollow models.
