The red parts show overhangs and should warn you of this. In this case I would say you can print it without any problems, but for other models it might be better to work with supports.

 

But without knowing your specific object, wouldn't it be better to align it flat?

    You could try to print this model without support, the overhangs should be no problem for the printer. But if you want to be on the safe side, then use supports.

     

    If you print with PLA you give your fan speed 100%, especially when you print without support to get a cleaner bridging on the overhangs.

    No for ASA which is similar to ABS, it is fine and good to have low cooling to prevent warping.

    If you are not sure it will print well, maybe in CAD you could cut out a small area of the top-side (=with the red faces). Just a tiny cube that has all the problem-aspects? And print only that, and refine settings if required? So you don't waste too much material.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
