Specifically the top case. Lots of support raft stuff, I’m getting a little warp due to the ABS. that hump and the screw pegs really increase the difficulty.

It’s a lesson in designing for printability.

One’s thing for sure, I’d try different slicers. I printed that Eddie the Ed model yesterday and on first pass I have no idea WTH slicer was thinking in RH, but I ran it through Cura and the support approach was way less, paths seemed to make sense, and it turned out awesome.

This model is one tenth actual size, I couldn’t figure out how to scale it in meshmixer…May have to learn that when I get back to it.

@Mike_Miller You can scale it in Slic3r

I can, and have in cura, but meshmixer’s Magic is generating really funky support structures that really shouldn’t be scaled after they’re generated.

I’ve seen several SD card holders, that’s the one I’d be like the most.
