!!!! My head just finished printing! For some reason my dad swore up and down he couldn’t print it hollow (lol) so it’s a giant hunk of plastic but that doesn’t matter because I’m gonna make a mold of it on Thursday! YEEHAW

@ruca 3d printing hollow items has very strict requirements on the geometry of the item, most notably that it can't have any areas too close to horizontal (they would fall off before enough gets printed to support their own weight).

@Rosemary sorry! I know it couldn’t have been *hollow* but I was really pushing for a different slicing with thicker wall+supports (hollow) or a lighter infill in general but this thing is like a brick. Bad wording on my part, but it was a whole thing with my dad and I’m just happy to have it done.
