This was brought up on one of the Facebook groups. Downloaded directly from Makerworld–this seems like a pretty bad way to print these, since the direction of force will likely cause them to split at layer lines. Is this a mistake? @MakeGood_Noam @MakeGoodScott @NWCC

I haven’t messed with the H series files at all yet. But I do agree, that is not the way I would want to print those files. Curious to see what Scott and Noam have to say about it.
Agreed, I personally don’t love this orientation for these. It’s really challenging removing the supports from the detailed underneath. And, as you said, they split along the layer lines really easily, especially if you don’t manage to clean up the support interfaces perfectly. The pins also would be pushing the layer lines apart depending on how the stresses are distributed.
This might just be a design decision that allowed them to be printed on the widest array of printers possible. You need a pretty big bed to print these laying down.
This project was designed to be printed in A1. One of these wings fits flat on 256x256 plate which is the most common size on the market.

Yeah you actually need an H series or similar to print these standing up as they are too tall. I have always printed these standing up together on my H2D and had no issues so far.
That is how they were placed on the plate in the H series files so I figured that was the preferred method.

I’ve printed them in this orientation on my Kobra Max and thought it was pretty cool. The fact that only the bottom side of the wing was adhered to the plate made for zero warping. It makes for a long print time…
