Printing Rings Sideways

Having my printing and casting done by a company in Johannesburg, I noticed that they always print rings to the side as opposed to upright. After questioning why this was done I was told that it is a time saving technique that they use when printing as it saves more than half the time printing it on its sides as opposed to upright.  I decided to give this a try.


 
As you can see from the pictures above, it was not a successful print. This had happened to me before at design@50 and the only way to overcome this was to add a 5 degree angle to the article being printed.


 
After printing with a 5 degree angle of the ring, the print was a success.
