That’s a great idea and would require similar amounts of support, however there’s still going to be 90 degree overhangs that wouldn’t come out quite as nice as the orientation I used

The model in question only has 1 flat side, its end (which is the top in the photo). Every other side requires supports if it’s on the build plate because of the recess in the cap, and the cap being wider than the rest of the model

Ooh thanks I’ll give that a try

This model is almost entirely overhangs with small gaps between them, making support removal a pain. This way uses less filament and makes for better quality

Just supports, I had to manually paint them in to prevent the slicer from putting them all the way up the side
