Most consumer printers I’ve come across have differing XY and Z axis spatial resolutions
I’ve been wanting a decent algorithm to determine the optimal angle to print models such that the result is aesthetically as high fidelity as possible
Take for example a rigid model crane set to a non orthogonal angle. Is it pleasing to print with respect to one vertical column or the other? What if they are not equally sized? What about which is most likely to be viewed up close?
Generalising that problem to more organic shapes is incomprehensible but I can’t even answer the aforementioned toy example
I’m sure there are dozens of excellent potential approaches but I can’t easily find it for arbitrary XY and Z (or other combinations thereof) spatial resolutions
