The original Art1Body was a big piece to print. I originally tried to cut it into 3 pieces and print them separately but the endresult was a model that was not that great. On top of that parts broke off because the walls were too thin, the motors failed to be fit and overheating.

Danny remodeled Art1Body of the original Thor project: ART1BODY part 3 , and this is one of the 3 parts that I started to print.

It turned out to be harder than expected on my Prussa 3D printer because of ABS plastic trying to warp upwards and fail the 3D print.

First trial was the right way up, but the small footprint on the heat bed made it come lose after a couple of layers. So I tried it upside down.

So I printed it upside down

This is the end result after 3 trials using more and more support structure.

Notice the ventilation holes that were added.

Turned the right way to show the support structures.

Removed the support structures.
