Staircasing is the appearance of tiny steps instead of smooth curves, an almost unavoidable result of producing a part in layers.<\/p>\n<p>This design includes nine different angle arrangements (each of two angles that add to 90\u00b0) starting from 5\u00b0 and 85\u00b0, letting you see which angle works best to minimize the stair-casing effect on prints with a slope.<\/p>\n<p>Once you find the right angle, you can properly orient models that contain a curve so that the curve is at the determined angle and the slope will look more uniform and natural. Alternatively, you can print a few of these calibration models at different layer heights and use the one that works best.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who designed it?\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cults3d.com\/en\/users\/Devstroyer\/creations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Devstroyer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>How printable\/popular is it?\u00a0<\/strong>This slope test print has over 8,100 views and 600 downloads on Cults.
