To orient resin 3D models for cosplay, prioritize placing visible surfaces away from supports and positioning detailed features upward—this minimizes post-processing on showy areas and preserves key details like armor engravings or prop textures. For large parts (e.g., armor chest plates), angle slightly to prevent resin pooling. For small, detailed pieces (weapon accents), keep the most complex side up to avoid supports hiding intricate details. Use your slicer’s preview tool to simulate support placement—this lets you tweak orientation early, saving resin and time on fixes.
