Tip on printing things like these blower ducts. Hit prepare to print and then do the cross section and check to see which way the bridging is running over the large open areas. Rotate the part to get the bridging to cross the narrowest way if needed.
One of mine the bridging was running the long way on the open rectangle instead of the short distance of side to side. Makes no sense why it does this.

...oh, and one more I thought of. Is there some way to get the software to automatically kick off the turbofan when printing PLA?

Sorry, but "kick on" I mean "turn on".
I've just had a few prints where I didn't manually go and turn on the blower after the print had been initiated and preheating had started. And the difference shows.
So, hoping for a way I can manage to have it on by default, or to specify it in software, as right now I'm mostly doing PLA.

Yes, that seems to be the all around opinion of just about everyone. And I probably will do so eventually. But first I need to come up with a semi-practical use for the printer to justify further spending to the wife...
