Nah. Standing upright hair is easy, since it “flows” out of the head nicely (when printing from the feet first). Far harder to print are models with lots of overhangs (that require additional supports). So the girl on the far right might be a problem – in which case I often find rotating a model a full 180 degrees and printing “upside-down” (with their feet in the air) usually solves it.

Lots of spiky bits on the top sides always print well. Spiky bits on the undersides (pointing downwards) usually require lots of supports – but then again, it’s easy to hid the “nubs” left by contact points if it’s part of a super-spiky jacket or hairstyle.

Orientation will be key to nice printing. I’m excited for these models.
