Legs should be done in the morning 🤞🏾 This is the 2nd attempt printing them, 1st attempt was a failure. One of the legs fell over and created a spaghetti mess 😭 Also ran out of black filament so using what I got for the rest of the print

What is your infill on these parts? You really don’t need much at all for stuff like this

Started at 50% then went to 40% I’m gonna have to change again. Going to try 30%. What do you recommend?

15 or less is more than enough, you could probably get away with much less than that. Try a single part at 5-7% see if it works and increase the outer shell by one (sometimes with low infill the infill is visible on the outside surface and doesnt look good). 25% or so is really strong for functional parts like brackets etc. print time will drastically reduce and you will use way way less plastic.

Oh wow, my way to dense than. I just accepted that this was supposed to be more than 25% but I see what you’re saying. It’s heavy and thick. That’s what my problem was for one of the legs when printing. It keep getting top heavy and would fall over. Thanks for the recommendation/advice. This is my 6th ever print. First more than 24 hr print
