1. A method for manufacturing a 3D object, the method comprising:
depositing a material from a printer nozzle on a support structure extending along a support structure plane that is an XY-plane, and while depositing the material:
translating the support structure relative to the printer nozzle with a translation speed in a translation direction parallel to the support structure plane, and
vibrating at least a first part of the support structure relative to the printer nozzle in a Z-direction perpendicular to the translation direction.
