“Hi! I'm trying to print some model/action-figured sized staffs and swords. Anyone have advice or orientation? I know doing them laying down means a nightmare for removing supports, but doing them straight up and down ends up with the top being super wiggly. Anyone have…”

“Somewhat new to 3d printing. Downloaded the Rocky 3d model from the Project Hail Mary website. This was the result after about 9-10 hours of over night printing. Printing on Voxelab Aquila printer. Used the Rocky articulated file with supports. Nozzle temp: 200, Bed temp:…”
“Hi! I'm trying to print some model/action-figured sized staffs and swords. Anyone have advice or orientation? I know doing them laying down means a nightmare for removing supports, but doing them straight up and down ends up with the top being super wiggly. Anyone have advice/experience? I was thinking the sword might be best to cut the "blade" into its own, piece and print it separate and then glue, but not sure on the staff. submitted by /u/hollandercooper [link]  ”

“Anybody know of a downloadable clicker model to use as a negative for 3-D prints? I’m making a clicker fidget toy and was wondering if this is already available otherwise I’ll just have to model it. submitted by /u/_SheDesigns [link] [comments]”

Since I am new to 3d printing can someone help me solve the issue? It s getting kind of frustrating that every second print or so I m having at least one of these misprints on thin or long stuff. I am by the way using 8k Abs-like water washable resin from Elegoo, I am using Chitubox and almost all of my prints are on a 45 degree orientation submitted by &#”
“This is the gearbox for the second major iteration of my 3d printed tank. Doing a full design overhaul since the previous version (that I made 7 years ago) had a lot of stuff that could be improved. submitted by /u/p0Pe [link] [comments]”
“Probably something that can't be printed all in one piece and needs to be done piece meal. I am new to the whole 3d printing side of modeling, two of my friends have both gotten one set up at their respective houses so it is mostly a matter of finding a way to make this into a model and file to print. If anyone knows the steps needed I would be thankful for the info. submitted by /u/BlazingCrusader [link] [comments]”
“Does anyone have the above? Preferably a painted version of the official statue model that Amazon gave out when the film came out? I've got the original files but they're all single colour and I can't seem to make it look right, so I'm hoping someone with more ability than me made a multicolour version and is happy to share 😁 Bonus points if you have the Hail Mary or Blip-A ships too! A CFS/AMS file is fine as I've got a K2 Combo. Thank you in advance! submitted by ”
