Yes, this is correct...but if you have enough of an overhang with too much space below then several layers drop down like spaghetti resulting in no solid foundation for the subsequent layers which leads to collapse. That is like saying as an architect designing a house on a hill to tell the construction foreman to just drop the bricks that would normally be used for the ground floor of a high-rise to "just let them pile up on the side of the hill there and hope that bunch of rubble is enough to hold up the rest of the building".DarthRevan wrote:mitchfx wrote: If you look closely at the images I posted from the software, you can see on the shoulders there are overhangs like you're describing. But the overhang results in the printed material dropping to just barely rest upon the model surface. Creating a contouring effect that is also barely attached and easy to remove.
Your results are less of an "as designed" depositing of extra material and more of a "happy accident" because there space underneath was so small that the incorrectly deposited strands just so happened to fill it up. Try that with a much taller build and on a steeper slope. Things will come a-tumbling down!
