    There is a render. I assume if the algorithm is “smart” enough to create a mesh it can also evaluate the overhang angle at every given point. I suspect they do. But yes it’s a good way of telling if anybody actually wanted to make this object or just habe a nice upload.

      No, that’s the problem. The algorithm is NOT good enough to determine if it is printable.

      People assume this and upload tons of crap models.

        Sorry but I can’t believe that. The slicer itself can determine what overhang needs support so it’s programmatically possible. Even if the AI hasn’t been explicitly trained to do the same it would have scanned the code for slicera and “learned” (more like stole) it itself.

        I am curious now. What is a state of the art AI tool to do stl? I think I will take a dive into this area
