Orienting for Printing (optional - can be done in Polar Cloud)
Outline
This activity will talk more about how to orient an object properly for 3D printing. This means:
- Minimizing overhangs
- Maximizing surface area that will print directly on the build plate
- Orienting for strength (if necessary, if applicable)
Please keep in mind that you can always rotate your part in the Polar Cloud Build Plate.
Please watch the Polar Cloud video below that shows how the letters T, H, and Y can help us learn what it takes to get a successful print!
