Trying to design a simple photo frame. Please help me understand these print issues.
(programming.dev)
Designing a simple photo frame. I wanted to make it so that it prints without supports. While printing, however, the back support part wobbles/vibrates with movement, and is printing terribly.
Ender 3v3 CoreXZ, PolyTerra matte black filament, using the CR-PLA Matte profile in Creality Print 7. Tried printing at slow speeds, the issue still persists.
I've tried making the back support with only 45 degree angles (previously it was an x diagonal), made it thicker (from 0.75mm to 1.5mm). Nothing is working. Please find the stl and 3mf here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7281179).
Is this a printer issue, a model issue, or a slicer issue? Please advise. 
@nieceandtows i would split it.
So you can lay down the big part an print it "flat". After that you can print the two feet seperat. You can glue them.
What about the channel to insert the photo? Wouldn't that become an overhang if laid flat?
@nieceandtows
Dind't see the channel, sorry 😅
– split, so you print the big part two times (you can put bigger things in there)
- reduce 45° to 40? 30?
- use supports (fixed on buildplate)
A v-shaped channel might work if the angle is at least 30 degrees off of horizontal. 45 will work for sure. Something like this.
Interesting, I'll try that.
