Support structure may be necessary – Even with the best orientation, it may be necessary to build a support structure.If I had oriented it the other way, the clip would not have any support to hold it in place during the printing process. Orientation of model to build space is important – Again referencing the insulin pump holder, I had to print it upside down so the clip could be printed.I could have also split the design up into two sections and glued them together after printing. ![]() I could have avoided that by making the floor area smaller and chamfering the internal wall segments. Abrupt changes in geometry should be avoided – If you read my previous post on the insulin pump holder, you saw the bottom of the holder had a very rough surface because the design went quickly from vertical walls to the horizontal floor.First, let’s talk about some basic design considerations: Now that I have some experience with 3D Printing, I can lay out the process in more detail. If you haven’t seen my previous posts on this topic, they are here, here, and here. ![]()
