3D Printing - Support Structures

AThe printer will ignore all overhangs

BThe printer will print faster without supports

CThe printer will add supports everywhere, wasting material

DThe printer will only print flat surfaces

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand threshold at 0°
0° means no overhang is allowed without support.
Step 2: Effect on printing
Supports will be added everywhere, even flat surfaces, wasting material.
Final Answer:
The printer will add supports everywhere, wasting material -> Option C
Quick Check:
Zero threshold = Supports everywhere [OK]

Quick Trick: Zero threshold causes supports on all surfaces [OK]
