(that&#039;s a 60mm fan snap-fitted into a 5mm recess if it helps with context, and an awful awful lot of molten plastic during prints of the first 10 layers <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /> ) <br />The one next to it is 120x95x35, 4mm walls, 4-lower 4-upper, solid infill hollow-box w/lid - snap-fit that snaps and fits.<br />I&#039;d offer up copious other examples, but those two happen to be on my desk right now. </p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7A0A9TKEWJM/UoMrOtrXJZI/AAAAAAAAJAY/-E1vAodIqS8/w1114-h627-no/20131113_183206.jpg" alt="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7A0A9TKEWJM/UoMrOtrXJZI/AAAAAAAAJAY/-E1vAodIqS8/w1114-h627-no/20131113_183206.jpg" /></span></p><p>Both of these have been printed &#039;unenclosed&#039; with no love or attention given other than selecting the correct filament type for the filament at the time, and hitting &#039;print&#039;. If I had cared, i&#039;d have set z-height a bit better to get a nicer surface finish on the lid, and then I wouldn&#039;t have pointed a heat gun when doing some heat-shrink at the lid of the box on the right (which is whats caused the feint deformation on top) - But I wasn&#039;t printing these other than to be functional, and I still got what is in the pic. Mark - you got any idea what I&#039;m doing wrong either ? <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>If I had to make one general observation about those dealing with &quot;problems&quot; generally on the forum it would be (directed at no specific individual or otherwise so don&#039;t bother with a flame war) - stop over thinking it. A fair amount of hand wringing around here is spent dealing with perceived problems/problem source vs actual problems/problem source and their established solutions (and yup, cherry picking from that list of fixes when a genuine problem is identified isn&#039;t applying the fix... its over-thinking it again by assuming there is a shortcut to be had&nbsp; ).</p><p>Either way, isn&#039;t the inherint joy of 3D printing learning wonderful new stuff? If you wanted instant satisfaction (with caveats <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /> ) with ignorance to the process theres always shapeways <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></content>
