I made this about a year ago and it’s one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I’ll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.

    Seems to be that way. I’m more interested in modeling and designing stuff, and less interested in the details around the printing. Though I do understand the limitations of the printers need to be taken into account with the design. I used to do a lot of CAD when I was younger, it would be cool to bring some of that stuff to life. I guess I’ll keep waiting for more maturity from the printers. Maybe it can be a retirement hobby for me.

      No need to wait, you are in perfect place to pay for a printing service. Its quite cheap and available everywhere if you can provide 3D model. OP’s model is huge so that one might be more expensive

      I think understanding printing would definitely help designs so you can make them in ways that are easier to print too
