I think if you waited until both birds showed their profile, it would have been a lot better.

So they probably already can, we'd never know.

Could you point me to some images of the u shaped or triangular cross section? I'm having trouble visualizing it.

Thanks for the pointers. I tried 45 print, and the vertical part broke off within the first inch or so lol. Should have tried at low speeds, because until it broke, it looked pretty good. May be that filet could have made it not break off that way.

I definitely want to get better, which is why I'm asking for feedback on the model as well. Please give me some tips and tricks to think and plan for efficient models that are best suited for 3d printing. How would you recommend I modify this model?

Interesting, I'll try that.

I tried with 50% speed, and even silent option which is even slower. Still happened. May be a hexagonal pattern might work better. I just want to build a simple photo frame that one can print without supports, and one that uses minimal filament.

Yeah the front looks great, but I feel like it's not good enough with an ugly back

I was thinking of that before posting that, but wanted to check if it's something wrong with my printer before that

What about the channel to insert the photo? Wouldn't that become an overhang if laid flat?

Printing the upright part flat on the bed is tricky, because it has a 0.75mm channel running through it for the photos. Wouldn't that cause overhang issues, or is it too small to be a problem?

It was printed lying down. I'll add the model and slicer screenshot after I get home
