The inner Doors

So next I’m tackling the 2 Inner doors.

Unlike the three previous prints this print would appear to need supports.

If you are either new to, or not involved in 3D printing here is a brief explanation of supports:

Supports for 3D prints are needed in the same way that building a railroad over a valley would require a structure beneath. In both cases not supporting them leads the railroad (or in this case the Printed layer) to  bow or even collapse entirely.

However, I did say the print would appear to need supports. There is a really easy fix in this case, which will avoid needing to use supports. Flip the file upside down and there you go.

This build will require two of these Doorways, a shortcut to get a second copy is as follows:-

  • Right click on the file and select “Multiply Selected Model
  • Choose Number of copies (in this case 1) and click on OK.

Now back to the printer.
