39 -The orientation of your 3D print is important because each layer is supported by the one beneath it. For example if you were 3D printing a pyramid, you would ideally want the base of the pyramid to be the base of the 3d print. Use the Rotate command to rotate your part if you need to.

43 43  If your design needs to have overhanging or unsupported pieces, then you have two main options:
44 -1) Have the slicer add in supports which can be broken off once the print is finished. To do this make sure the Supports dropdown is not None.
45 -2) Use the Cut command to cut your part into pieces that could each be printed like a pyramid. For example a sphere would be very difficult to print and would require a lot of supports, but if you cut the sphere in half each half could act effectively as a pyramid and would be very simple to cut. When the print is finished, the two halves can then be glued together.
