About this generator

Angles are measured from vertical: 45° is the classic rule of thumb. Find out what your printer and cooling really handle.

How to use

  1. Set the angle range and step.
  2. Print without supports.
  3. Look for the first angle where the underside gets messy.

Printing tips

  • Good part cooling makes the biggest difference.
  • Compare the same test with different fan speeds.

Frequently asked questions

How are the angles measured?

From vertical. 0° would be a straight wall, so a higher number is a steeper overhang.

What improves overhangs?

Good part cooling makes the biggest difference. Print the test twice with different fan speeds to compare.
