For parts taller than 40mm, you will need to alternate between printing and milling. The same guidelines apply as to Near Net Shape processing. But there are some additional concerns when alternating back and forth.
- Use a relieved tool. This will allows the milling of vertical walls while leaving the top surface untouched, which will be important for restarting the print.
