What is one effective way to design corners in FDM prints to reduce limitations?

Making corners slightly rounded during the design stage is an effective strategy to improve the quality of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) prints. Rounded corners contribute to better flow of the filament during the printing process, reducing the likelihood of issues such as warping or poor adhesion.

When corners are sharp, the printer may struggle to maintain consistent extruder movement, leading to increased stress and potential failures at these points. In contrast, rounded corners allow for smoother transitions between surfaces, which helps to maintain structural integrity and prevents defects that can occur at sharp angles. This technique enhances the overall strength and aesthetic of the print, resulting in a more reliable and visually appealing final product.

Additionally, while other strategies such as integrating internal supports or designing corners as right angles may have their own benefits, they do not address the specific challenges that sharp corners present in FDM printing. These alternatives might not enhance print quality as effectively as rounding the corners does.
