    That’s one, but if you are priting a particularly delicate part, printing at an angle could strengthen the part significantly

      How? What mechanisms, conditions, etc, are we manipulating which produce such a significant effect? After a bit of searching I found this write up:

      Is this what we’re referring to? To summarize (if I’ve understood this properly): Printing at 45 degrees ensures none of the print’s three axes are aligned with the printer’s least accurate axis of movement.
