Just one object?
There are cases when printing in one piece is inevitable, but there are as many cases where you can
cut into several parts the object to print more easily. An example that you oen see on the internet
is that the Eiel Tower: for his height would print a whole small object and with details too tiny to be
created from most printers FDM. Cutting the model into two or three parts it is possible to place it in
print volume of almost all printers and metal structures large enough to be printed accurately. Aer
the parts can easily be combined with a drop of glue having so perfectly printed Tower and dened.
Supports
When you cannot avoid parties suspended, tilted geese begin in anything you have to give the printer
a support on which to begin to create these pieces. The supports are the solution that has developed
technology to overcome the force of gravity and allow the creation of complex models, also suspend-
ed parts and other parts (balls of a bearing), or with items that necessarily begin (moving upwards)
from nothing, as the arms do not place the hips in a bust.
In any case, the problem can only be linked to one detail and then you can create in the model solu-
tion. Take the case of this famous model who, thanks to an enterprising user, was modied with the
addition of only support necessary to achieve a awless printing: the lower part of the chin started
with some ring in anything, so I added a calculated support to the tenth of a millimeter.
In this way, by printing to be done with some attention and with a critical point, became a print from
the result guaranteed.
The supports are still generated by slicing soware if it is enabled the creation of print parameters.
