Yeah, you’re right. How do I make it go in parallel lines? I’m using Creality Print, btw.

It’s print in place, but it took close to 7 hours to complete

Should I not rub it until it evaporates, but rather just apply a thin film and let it evaporate?

Ah, I had no idea, thanks

Ah. I wiped it with alcohol before printing, but I guess that doesn’t actually remove the fingerprints.

I love the idea though. Hopefully there’s an actual camera mount for Ender 3 V3 along z axis that doesn’t have this issue.

eh, I like this guy better

Wait till you watch the movie they made about vi and emacs

Good idea, done

That would be amazing, thank you! If you could also give me the project file, I’ll use it to learn how to do it.

Thanks for the advice. I’m still learning, so what makes you say regular supports would be better for this compared to tree? I always struggle to get off tree supports from thin/skinny parts and end up breaking them.

I did that last night, but couldn’t get the supports to show up for under the gourd like thing. . I thought may be orca knows it better than me on supports, but sure enough it detached itself midway. What’s worse, I woke up this morning and tried to remove the supports on the face, and they were super hard to remove. I pulled them with needlenose pliers and ended up ripping off the whole face of the instrument. Are my settings wrong, or did I just let it cool down too much? I used the settings from here https://www.reddit.com/r/OrcaSlicer/comments/15yjz2a/best_tree_support_settings_ive_used/

If I were to design one like this, where would I best go? I’m learning Freecad, but I assume Blender is more suited for this thing?

lol yeah it’s a traditional string instrument from the south of India. It’s around the size of a bass guitar

How would I go about putting them together? With super glue?

I think the issue is at least partly due to a wobbly table. I just took off the printer and placed it on the floor, redid the self test, and it’s printing a lot better than before.

I ran the built in leveling and input shaping self test last night, and often run calibration before print

Printable Area Z Offset = 0mm and Extruder Offset is 0x0mm

Also, what does this mean?
