So Im at a bit of a crossroads #3dprinting. Heres the thing
I just printed (miraculous to me) an empty box with a bar across it with no supports. It is a critical piece in the project. I need to print another one. Its a 30+hour print..
Soo..
Do I just let it fly knowing it could fail or do I add supports and have to dig them out and potentially fail because clearance (hard to get to places cleaning supports)
Im thinking let it fly..but Im biting my nails
