Overhang Angle Overhang angle is the degree at which a model extends horizontally without support. In 3D printing, angles above 45 degrees typically require support structures to prevent sagging or deformation. Proper overhang angle management enhances surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and structural stability. Advanced slicing software detects overhangs and generates optimal support configurations. Adjusting print speed, cooling, and layer height improves overhang performance. Mastering overhang angles enables complex designs with minimal support, reducing post-processing and material waste. |
