3D Hubs Marvin - Wireframe

thingiverse

I adored the SLS Marvin 3D but it had a major flaw: the entire model was very spindly and didn't hold up well when printed. So I headed into meshmixer and reinforced all of its posts, giving the print more stability and strength. I also uploaded my trusty support settings for printing with my Ultimaker 2 using .25 layers at 30 MM/S. Print Settings Rafts: The raft isn't a critical element here. Supports: Choose from one of two options: doesn't matter or don't add any. Resolution: Use 0.25 layer resolution for smooth prints. Infill: Set the infill to 20% for optimal balance between detail and weight. Notes: Make sure your slicer has Z-hop enabled; it greatly reduces the risk of toppling over the sensitive supports. Feel free to design and use custom supports, but mine worked flawlessly and came off cleanly with a pair of flush cutters. You're welcome to adapt my SLS style supports or forge your own - the hollow tubes will print out perfectly. Post-Printing Remove those supports I employed patience and precision using a pair of trusty flush cutters to dislodge the supports.
