is it possible to print objects that end up being more rigid, by re-orienting how they are printed ????
for example,
i have noticed by using the rotation feature in the Cura 4.8.0 slicer, that i can alter print times
i have also learned that the infill percentage will greatly vary the rigidity and the print times too
layer thickness and other nuances aligned with alchemy can be dissected into smaller and more detailed command, all have bearing on the end product.
(without argument of fixed factors, like the same object, same printing material, same infill, same layer thickness , temperatures, blah blah blah.)
Can objects be printed to have superior toughness, by simply re-orienting the object????
please expand if possible, any anecdotes, any thoughts, any engineering or working knowledge would be welcomed!
