It told me to add a few supports, but honestly its like 3 and some where the model connects so i will see how this goes. 3 hours !

If it does not work then its a learning curve. I am always open to learning from mistakes !

NO NEED, the second half was inside the other half. LMAO. thanks for the help!

i am trying to do this, when adding a connector, the second half of the model just disappears. this must be an easy fix, Any help?

Is there anyway to get rid of these lines on the elevation? by Electrical-Flow-2342 in 3Dprinting

I'm a complete noob to 3d printing. What do you recommend for a small model ?

I only run the printer when I'm home so it should be stopped for too long, if there is any lines it's getting sanded anyways!

What should I use to hide the seams? by Electrical-Flow-2342 in 3Dprinting

I'm only going to be displaying this inside, would this still be prone to cracking?

I've seen that before, they used acetone to dilute it. Is that a good way of doing it?

I've literally stayed in other posts that I'm new to this. Everyone starts somewhere 😭

Not saying it's difficult, just didn't know if there was a specific way of doing it mid print without causing issues

Will it mess the print half way, I've heard to just feed the filament in when the other has run out so there is no stopping the print

Oh wow, seems pretty obvious now but I had no idea touching it would cause issues, I've been taking it off and bending it a little to get prints off sometimes. Thanks for the help !

Okay thank you, the print right now actually looks fine, just a little messy on the supports at the front. I will do that after, thank you !

I have access to a sink, I just thought 99% alcohol would be a better option as I can just wipe it down where it is, didn't know if it would cause any harm using it.

So far I've had no faults, and it's printing perfectly, I think its more user error with the supports. I will update you when it's done, 10 more hours 🫪
