First time using Tree Support on Ender 3, Cura 3.4.1 I was a bit apprehensive looking at the finished print encased with support. As it turns out, it was not hard. The supports were mainly thin in structure and easy to be cut and removed. Before : After :

After boxing my broken MP Select Mini and left for dead for 3 months, and armed with limited understanding of 3D printers accumulated from a short 5 months experience, I decided to give it one more try to fix it. First off, the Bowden connector ( exstrude coupler?) was broken. Unable to secure...

Unlike those chess sets I printed before which are either too "ho-hum" or too "funky", the set I found from Thingiverse yesterday is both traditional and elegent. It can grace any living room. I used Anycubic Mega S for the white pieces. Ender 3 for the Blue pieces. No Support needed. Anycubic...

Thanks to member Renover's advice, I finally managed to print some miniatures. My problem was not on printing them, but on removing the stubborn Supports without breaking the needed parts. Renover's suggestion works very well. Here are my miniatures done in last 2 days. I am not sure I have the...

Yes. That makes removing Supports a lot easier. Thank you very much. Don't overlook the micro mini at the front row, right side. It's less than 1 inch tall, 1/2 inch wide.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

OK. Thank you. See if that works.

On Cura 3.4.1 which I am using ...…... There are : Support Z distance Support top distance Support bottom distance. They are set at 0.1mm. Not sure that is what you are referring to. Support x/y distance is at 0.7mm I'll check the more recent cura. 4.3 version.

Tried to print miniatures but failed miserably. Problem is not on printing. Problem is on removing the supports without breaking the parts needed. I use Cura . I don't know how to use the fancy "tree support" option. I tried the "touching buildplate" option, but some parts did not get printed...

R2D2 painted and assembled...….. Front view Left side Back view Right side

One of the bigger prints I had done. This one is about 8 inches tall. Comprised of 18 parts. Spray painted.

Interesting. Is that a "direct extruder" type of printer? One curious question..... was the printer still printing while picture was taken ? Some parts seem to be incomplete.

Speaking of practical usefulness, this one is kind of useful...….. Owl, pen/pencil holder

Zero value in practicality, probably. But interesting to look at...…..

6 or 7 months ago, I started to try 3D printing. Expected a big learning curve since I knew absolutely nothing about this trade. Started with a small Monoprice Select Mini V2, and I printed Star Wars' own R2D2 ( the one on the right of the picture). Now that I understand a bit more about 3D...

Eagle v Cobra So far, this one is the most detailed 3D print I have had. Only if my camera could show it.. Multi-colour prints
