Tilt Single Model
Tilting objects optimizes cross-sectional area for printing, and enables finer part-surface quality and uniformity on surfaces. A tilted orientation is especially recommended for parts with large flat sections. This section describes how to best tilt objects for inverted-SLA printers.

- Parts that don't have large flat areas, and less than 2mm wall thickness, may be printed in either Flat or Tilted preset modes, provided that you still inspect the supports for proper placement, continuity, and density near the platform. Consider the following examples:
![]() |
The way this part is oriented, there are many changes in elevation facing the print platform, and there are many floating parts that must be supported. This causes many supports to be necessary, and at staggering heights. |
![]() |
If the same part is oriented with the longest, flattest portion facing down and slanted, most of the supports are so evenly spaced and consistent that a line can be drawn through them. There are just a couple of extra support sets sticking up to support floating geometry. This is ideal. |
