How does a fillet help reduce stress on a joint in 3D printing?
How does a fillet help reduce stress on a joint in 3D printing?
- By strengthening the 90-degree angle (correct)
- By causing the print nozzle to break
- By decreasing the strength of the 3D print
- By increasing the stress at the 90-degree angle

- The print quality improves significantly
- A fillet is automatically added
- The nozzle may break the print (correct)
- The print nozzle stops working
