AI Help

Hello! Based on the images you have provided, I would recommend printing the round parts in a horizontal or diagonal orientation with supports. This will ensure better adhesion to the build plate and reduce the risk of warping or deformation during printing. Additionally, using supports will help to prevent drooping and other issues that can arise with round shapes. It's also important to ensure that your printer is properly calibrated and leveled to ensure accurate prints. Good luck with your cosplay prop!
