EASE OF PRINTING

This model contains parts of 3 colours - GREY, YELLOW, BLACK. I have seperated these into different plates according to colour and in the optimum print position. Please download the folder “Print Plates According to Colour” to make use of them. These plates can be opened in any slicer and printed according to your print profiles.

When you are assembling the globe for rotation, you have to first secure the globe in the undercarriage using the threaded parts and then put a small drop of glue on top of the stock of the sphere to attach the main body. If you at first glue the globe to the main body and then try to secure it to the undercarriage, it will be difficult.

Supports should be provided as required.

Although you would need to be aware of tolerances of your printer.
