I have designed this miniquad pod
the problem is in that i will be printing in tpu
And the support for it isn’t ideal.
And now am struggling in which orientation it should be?
Any suggestions is appreciated

I’d consider printing it in halves and gluing them together.
What about adding features that allow you to re-orient your print. It looks terribly vulnerable like that.
@Saud_Don_t How about removable custom supports and edging. Because I see a tall print with a small area on the print bed I’d lay it down on the open side. This unfortunately does not have a lot of contact thus requiring a brim or suchlike.
Design tweaks will yield easier printing.
My TPU doesn’t bridge too well, so I’d probably print it with the screw holes facing up and some support for the overhangs. I get excellent layer adhesion with TPU, so I’d be less worried about printing it vertically to get the right grain direction for the screw holes.
Just s thought here but does your printer have dual extrusion? If it does you could use soluable support and make your life really easy.
Print it on a corner with the supports generated by Meshmixer
