Not sure how i should print this piece out / what orientation, any advice? gonna have to use alot of support regardless, could always split the piece up but its going to make it very difficult to glue with how thin it is

Lol, you shouldn’t😂 that’s a whole kg in supports bro

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

hahah ikr, even if i split the main frame off its still going to be a shit load of supports

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

What is this part?

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:32 AM

#

part of the ikelos smg from destiny

#

the underside frame

#

had to print separately so i can paint it properly plus its kinda floating over the model

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

I don’t know bro, good luck😅😂

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

haha thanks 😅

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

#

Your best option is to split the model here and send both parts in that orientation

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

yeah thats what i was thinking, might be a tough glue job but would probably be drastically easier to print

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

And if a print fails not nearly as much wasted time/filament

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

yeah probably best to especially since im running low on filament and very broke right now Xd

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

And just use some good jb plastic weld and some plastic welding/solder iron techniques you should be golden

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

havent used that before

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

As an ME major 130k in debt with 7 printers I know😅😅😅

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

ive just got the one but im itching to get more

#

hobby really sucks you in

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

Next buy is two X1 carbons😋

#

Ps don’t mess with vorons… just to save you the time and hassle

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

i want an x1 so bad

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

It’s a cool project printer and you’ll learn a lot but print quality and tuning is literal cheeks

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

yeah ive done most of the main body already

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

Had less problems with creality printers…

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

ive got a sovol sv01

#

easy entry level and its being doing me real good

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

You are building a voron?

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

nope just using the sovol

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:39 AM

#

Gotcha, yeah save your time and money, I got a 2.4 kit and the carbons are cheaper even with the ams system

#

And you save about 70+ hours in build time, and almost no tuning required

#

I use one for work

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:40 AM

#

yeah nice, bambus look really sick

#

will probably save up for one

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

Just hit print and it goes, the only printer I don’t have to worry about other people messing with. It’s the best printer but I don’t even trust people touching my creality printers or prusa’s

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

yeah my printers tucked away in my room nobodys getting to it

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:42 AM

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:44 AM

#

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

My cheapest one was 4k, I’m a pro shooter so that’s why they are so expensive

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:46 AM

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:48 AM

#

The cost of education is ridiculous and has over doubled in the last 5 years. But hey at least I have small spiders😂

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:48 AM

#

yeah with the heat atm theyre are spiders everywhere i put on a pair of pants the other day and there was one in the leg no joke

#

smacked him and he fell out luckily

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

Bro I’d just f-ing shoot a spider if it’s bigger than 3 inches because f that

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

most arent most common are huntsmans but theyre chill they eat all the others bugs and spiders

#

scary looking but can barely bite humans

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

I’ve got a 12 ga that the Germans considered a war crime in WWII because they thought it was excessive, I’d absolutely shoot a big ass spider with it absolutely no hesitation

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

hahahah

#

yeah you learn to live with em

#

outside my room theyre chill inside and they outy

#

but if they aint too big or deadlym i just put em outside

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

Nah because if they are that big you can’t even squish them😂😂

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:54 AM

#

hahahah exactly

#

but theyre usually pretty chill they mean no harm

#

and i dont have too many snakes around here

#

some but not many

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

I can do snakes, I’m very used to them

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

thats good spiders just disapeer on ya

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

And if they are big or deadly we just shoot them

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

haha yeah no shooting for us a shoe is enough

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

For a deadly snake??😂

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

nah nah spiders snakes i just dont fuck with

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

😂😂😂

#

See you are backwards, snake bites don’t really hurt and they are really big in general so they are easy to see and catch

#

Also they stay on the F-cking ground dude!!!

#

You only ever have to look for snakes on the ground, spiders are literally everywhere

#

Ceilings, walls, random crevices

#

In your pants

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

yeah but they hide in the grass haha

#

yeah the pants did freak me a bit

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

If it’s in the grass it ain’t my problem😂😂

#

Snakes get in a lot here tho, almost more so than outside because it’s cold

#

I live almost in Canada so it’s snow 5 months of the year

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:00 AM

#

ive only seen snow once

#

had to travel for it

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

Bro it’s -15 outside rn

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

And it’s supposed to hit -40 tonight

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

You lucky fcker

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

aha its a bit too humid tho

#

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:03 AM

#

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

It hasn’t been over 5° C in about a month and a half

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

yeah id prefer the humidity haha

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

#

I walk outside and I’m in physical pain… like the cold hurts your body at these temps

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

yeah ill take a 40 degree day over that any day

#

btw

#

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

Yeah exactly

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

still worried about how the left one will print

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

I’d print them separate

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

but should be better

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

Yeah for sure, I’d print the left one first

#

And after it’s done the right one

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

#

any reccomendations on support settings?

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

Yeah tree supports

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

never used em been too nervous to

#

they work well for this?

#

#

this looks overkill does it have to be this much?

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:10 AM

#

Here lemme send you a pic

#

#

This is a good starting point

#

The z distance needs to be one layer height

#

And if you are printing .2 layer height or less bump that support angle up to 65

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

yeah ive got it at .2 so z distance is already .2

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

Those are the best tree support settings you can start with

#

Enable all of that

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

why 0 percent density?

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

I’ve tuned mine more now so I have a ton of options but that’s a good start

#

And because you have a support roof

#

Which is what interfaces with the print

#

0 is because it will save filament but when support roof is enabled it’s just wasted

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

ah ofc

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

Yeah if you have questions always feel free to DM me on here

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

cheers thanks man

unkempt obsidian Feb 4, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

I guarantee I can answer it

#

Absolutely

#

Let me know how the print turns out

rough aspen Feb 4, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

#

looks good?

#

also 33.3 roof density whats that for?

#

same just less filament?
