There are no better orientations for this model so to ensure success, we would print Part A with a raft or brim for improved stability. The corner of the model is built from one singular point which would be unstable and likely fall over before connecting to the rest of the print. In the case of part 1, the first layer is made up of many small extrusions which are later built upon and connect to each other. If the print is tall and the first layer is fine or covers a very small area, we recommend printing with a raft or brim to improve adhesion to the bed.When printing files with no distinguishable flat surface you can either modify the file (cutting) to create a flat base or alternatively you can print with supports and a raft which will hold the print in place.Firstly we look for large flat surfaces on the model which will provide a stable first layer.All of these can in severe cases result in print failure.Īside from ensuring our bed is leveled and using the right printing surface and settings for the desired material it is important to orientate your print so the first layer is large enough to secure the print to the bed.

If your print is poorly stuck to the bed the print is susceptible to moving, wobbling and even warping. The first layer of a 3D print is the single most important layer your printer will print.
