Overhangs
Recommendations.
Pam 3D printers deposit multiple layers of material one on top of each other to create a part. 3D printing in the air is not really possible.
This means that it is possible to control the overhangs in the design or to use support structure material.
The overhangs up to 45º print at high quality.
Depending on the material and layer height, it might be possible to 3D print overhangs of up to 60° with decent quality. It is recommended to use support material on all overhangs above 60°.
Support structure is presented in a separated part.
Testing part presentation overhangs.
Red elements represent overhangs with an angle of inclination too high to be 3D printed without risk of collapse.
Using a support structure material will allow to 3D print these elements.
