Of Pink Elephants and Melamine Bonfires

Smaller prints are less time consuming.
I can make the joint lines along overhangs and make designs that need no support.
By eliminating support I get smooth surfaces with great cosmetic properties.
I can make multiple colored assemblies.
I can orient the layer lines for strength in places where they would otherwise be in the weak orientation.

I am designing a to scale model of a caterpillar excavator. I'm really curious about some of your joints and what you've been successful with. Since I have to do something similar, it would save me a ton of time if you could share some of your ideas. Can you post a couple photos or link me to somewhere like thingiverse? Thanks!
