Video Description

Thanks so much to KiwiCo for sponsoring today’s video. Go to https://www.kiwico.com/cnc and use code CNC to get 50% off your first monthly KiwiCo Crate or 20% off your first Panda Crate! Choosing the right print orientation can make or break your 3D prints - literally! In this video, I test how part orientation affects strength, surface quality, and printability using real tensile samples and practical examples like a vacuum hose adapter. You’ll learn why angled printing can improve strength, when it doesn’t, and how to find the best compromise between supports, quality, and durability.
