This is my first post as I just got my printer but does anyone have any recommendations for this print? There’s a lot of filler that isn’t stuck to the rest of the print. Everything else is almost perfect except the bottom. I’m using a flash forge 5M with a 220C extruder temp and a 2mm layer I believe.

Don't give general printing advice in this subreddit. This print is specifically not meant to be printed vertically.
I don't expect you to know that because it a niche subreddit, but realize that you are guessing in a place where people are manufacturing firearms. Not a good idea

Coulda swore k-cad was printed vertical but I guess I was wrong on it being a k cad and the orientation.

Hold on, I might be the pot calling the kettle black. If you have a link to the kcan documentation, I'll brush up on it.
Either way, OP needs to take a huge step back and learn the ropes

On the website it says vertically is strong enough for .22 which I believe op said in the comments but horizontally is better for all subsonic ammo. And some supersonic. So I guess it all depends on which one he was printing bc he said he wanted a 9mm as well lol. But I agree it took me a bit to get a decent 3d2a print and it’s not something I’d jump into and trust testing out 2 days into printing and not knowing what supports are lol. So we’re both right and wrong if that makes sense haha.

Really appreciate the kind comment though man. Love the learning comments that don’t try to like push people away from the hobby because I has seen some haha.
