Comment on Trying to design a simple photo frame. Please help me understand these print issues.

I would say this is a model issue. How about separating the model in 2 parts: the flat bottom part with the legs, and the ‘envelope’ part that stands upright. Both parts can then be printed flat fairly easy. You’ll only need to think of a way to join the two again after printing, perhaps by modeling two holes in the stand part, and adding two pins on the upright part

Printing the upright part flat on the bed is tricky, because it has a 0.75mm channel running through it for the photos. Wouldn’t that cause overhang issues, or is it too small to be a problem?

It would be an overhang problem. You could change the channel to a 45 degree notch. But it wouldn’t hold the photo as secure.
Simplest might be to fill in more of the back so you don’t have that thin rectangle going up high until it meets the other rectangle in the middle. Thickening those parts would also help. The back frame could be changed to a hollow square cross section. That would make it stable without significant material.
