Bridges and Overhangs torture test
Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2015 6:38 pm
Designed with Rhino, it's an Icosahedron inside of a Dodecahedron.
The intention here is to print it without supports, as a torture test for overhangs, bridges and stringing.
I only do ABS, so printing this part with no supports was a real challenge. A layer fan is a must here, or try printing it very slow.
I know layer fan + abs don't do well, but if you can find that sweet spot where it doesn't delaminates it works.
This part was printed some time ago, I think I can do it a bit better now.
Anyway, just wanted to share it with the community and see others prints of it.
Hope you like it.
