Printing Intricate/Moving Part

[AbuMaia]

If you have your printer calibrated properly, and slicer settings set up right, your printer should be able to print bridges (unsupported filament) that do not sag. You may want to download a bridging calibration piece to try out your settings and adjust them as needed. Some people also find a fan blowing on the plastic as it's extruded helps. Slic3r has a cooling option that lets you tell it whether to activate a fan for bridging or not.

SMART. Going to try calibrating the printer tonight, then mess with that setting to see if I can get more precision. I am finding with multiple models that have small slits or holes they are not precise enough to be used properly...

Wait, how did this thread just get jacked by a pump? I was asking about the Maker Faire robot here:

I bet if your Maker Faire robot had a OpenSCad file that described it, you could change it!

Seriously... I'm going to print one but I have to get a new power supply hitched up.
