Hi, if I was to 3D print a vertical cylinder of length 60mm and diameter 8mm, does this require any support structures?

Hi!
If the position for printing the cylinder is in vertical position as you say, I think it should not be necessary, in case the base is stuck. But the normal thing is to print a support structure joined with tabs that can be split and thus remove the excess material.
