It prints in place, without supports. When you have finished the print take the base off first and push onto the main model, this will give you a bit of stability before removing it from the bed.

Make sure you can see the strings down the centre in your print preview.

I recommend a layer height of approx. 0.3mm

Took 3 tries to get it off the print bed without breaking the fragile strings, so be careful.

Is it possible to print this at reduced scale? I have the Ender 2 and this model is too large for the 165 x 165 plate width / height - I have to reduce it to 78% to fit but then the thin lines in the center don't show up in cura as if they will print (they are just shadows)

I am wondering if maybe this is because scaling the size to a bit smaller makes them too thin to print? Open to any suggestions :-)

Hi. It looks great but I have printed it 3 times, each time the strings break taking off the build plate. I am using Cura 5.1, layer height 3mm, 100% infill and polaroid white PLA. Would PETG be stronger? Any way to increase the thickness of strings?
