3D Printer Torture - Bridging & Overhangs

thingiverse

MAD TINKERS ONLY! Everyone else run for cover! You say you have your FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D Printer dialed in so well that it's a wonder of modern technology. Your printer bridges with such precision that if the build volume was larger, you could build a bridge across a football field and still have room to spare. You claim that the 45° rule is for newbies who can't properly calibrate their printers. The lines on your prints are so straight they'll make you the envy of any math convention. Has your 3D Printer ever let you down? Do you want to teach it a lesson? This is a great way to test your 3D Printer's limits and see if it can handle even the toughest challenges. Okay, time to put your money where your mouth is. No, I didn't mean that literally! I know PLA is non-toxic, but please don't eat it! *sigh* Where was I? Ah yes; let's get down to business. This print is not for the faint of heart. It will push your FDM 3D Printer to its limits and see if you're truly a master of the craft. Do you accept the challenge? If you succeed, you'll get a stunning geometric sculpture that will be the envy of all your friends. And the satisfaction of knowing that you've conquered a print that many others have failed to complete. But if you fail, well, humility is a great quality and that stringy lump of filament could, in the right light, be considered some sort of abstract modern art piece. Maybe. So what's it going to be? If you succeed, post a picture or two so we can all see your handiwork. And if you don't like the models you see, use the Customizer to create your own masterpiece!
