In part two of this three part miniseries on the Anatomy of 3D Printed Parts, we focus on walls and supports. Walls form every surface on the part not directly parallel to the print bed and serve key functions. Supports, on the other hand, are sacrificial structures that hold up cantilevered sections of parts as they're printing.
