Overhang An overhang in 3D printing is any part of the model that extends horizontally without direct support underneath. Printing overhangs requires precise cooling, layer adhesion, and support structures to prevent sagging or deformation. The maximum angle for unsupported overhangs is typically 45 degrees, but this varies by material and print settings. Advanced slicing software automatically generates support structures for complex overhangs. Optimizing print speed, temperature, and cooling improves overhang quality. Mastering overhangs enables intricate designs and reduces post-processing needs. |
