Literally, in this case. The printer is printing the first prototype parts of the Eagle's engine section. This is what it should look like: http://www.starshipmodeler.com/tech/eagle-37.jpg[^]

Obviously not a part that is easy to print, much less in one piece. And the whole model is like that. I had to throw away about 90% of the original 3D files and draw my own. The remaining 10% also had to be modified for more detail, making the model carry it's own weight without collapsing and to make it easier for the slicer to digest.

Both Blender and the slicer were not always cooperative, often eating up more time than designing and printng the parts. Thanks for all the advice in the other thread a few days ago. Remeshing seems to work. I have tried both Blender and Meshmixer and have gotten good results. The downside is, that this is very hard on the processor and you need a lot of RAM if you want to reach a high quality. I never have seen an I7 with 32 gig. RAM work so hard for almost an hour. In Blender there is a setting called 'octree depth' and you have to set it at least to 10 if you want a decent accuracy. With every level the memory and processor reqirements go upo by a factor of 8, so all this is not really a surprise.

Anyway, the first part of this 3D puzzle is now printing and looks good. Let's hope it still holds up when I scrape it off the build plate.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
