I want to print the rod vertically (standing upright) without supports if possible. I’m even considering cutting it into smaller sections and gluing them together afterward, because I think the vertical orientation gives a better result than printing it horizontally.

The problem is that when I print it vertically, the top layers become unstable and the print quality gets worse. I tried adding a small amount of side support just to keep it steady, and the supports are actually easy to remove, but the upper part of the print still has issues.

What would be the best solution here?

Should I print it vertically with some kind of support/bracing?
Should I split it into parts and glue them together?
Is there a better orientation or technique for getting a clean, strong rod?

Any advice from people who have printed similar long, thin parts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My first 3D model – a napkin holder inspired by Serbian tradition 🇷🇸

This is a napkin holder designed for Slava, a traditional Serbian family celebration where relatives and friends gather together to honor their family's patron saint.

This model was made specifically for St. George's Slava (Đurđevdan). The idea was to create a small decorative piece that can bring a touch of tradition to the festive table and make the celebration even more special.

Slava is a tradition passed through generations, combining faith, family, and hospitality. Every detail on the table has its meaning, and I wanted to add something modern through 3D printing while keeping the spirit of the tradition.

I hope you like it, and I would love to hear your thoughts. New printer grind starts now! 🚀
