Aspect Ratio Aspect ratio in 3D printing describes the proportional relationship between a model's dimensions, such as height, width, and depth. A model with an extreme aspect ratio, like being very tall and narrow, can be prone to issues such as warping, tipping, or layer misalignment during printing. When designing models, maintaining a balanced aspect ratio helps improve stability and printability. Slicer software settings, such as supports, brims, and infill, can mitigate issues caused by problematic aspect ratios. Understanding and considering aspect ratios in design helps ensure successful and structurally sound prints, particularly for complex or tall objects. |
