This video demonstrates a technique for 3D printing parts at an angle without leaving blemishes on the surface finish. The creator shows how to model and print "light-touch" supports that barely connect to the part, allowing for easy removal without damaging the print. This method is particularly useful for printing parts that need to stand at an angle, such as the CNC router components featured in the video.
Description
Today we're revisiting a previous video where I showed how to 3D print parts standing up at an angle. Someone in the comments on that video told me I was doing it wrong by connecting the designed support to the part. Today I'm showing how to touch the part without connecting fully to it to get good support without leaving blemishes in the surface finish.

Thanks James.
❤ awesome thanks for uploading
Any reason for printing 45° instead of flat?
How do you move the models so beautifully?? Is it just the type of mouse?
3MF or AMF should also be fine re: multiple parts in the same piece, although I'm very ignorant about what Autodesk Fusion supports.
