Topic: Unusual Object Query

Good Morning,

I've just purchase a DaVinci for printing 3d conservatory and sunroom models.

I have never done this before and have a quick question - will the model in the link below print ok or do you think the roof will fall when it begins to print because there is no structure underneath it?

I cannot post the image or a direct hyperlink as I am new to the forum.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You would have to set your slicing software to add supports then remove/cutout the supports once the model is printed. The windows would also get support material as well. The slicing software figures out where it is needed and adds it.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Another option would be to print the 3 walls and roof separately laid flat then stick it all together with super glue or acetone.
