Devlog #2: Slicing and printing the Sorfc
An attempt to fight gravity by separating the object in way too many chunks.

I put myself to unnecessary challenge: Can I chunk it in a way that we don’t need to use supports for printing it?
Prepping the mesh for print
I set the Support Overhang Angle to 52°. It means anything leaning more than 52 degrees away from straight up gets a support underneath it.
That also meant that I ended up having 14 different pieces to print (plus armor and surfboard).
The result

And this is how it looks assembled:

Afterwords
It is not always necessary to overengineer for the challenge’s sake, but hey, this is how we learn.
