Custom supports for LED Bridge Lamp

thingiverse

Just thought I would upload this 3mf file of custom supports I created for the curved piece of the led bridge lamp. I printed 3 sections originally, one without, one with standard and one with tree support. Both standard and tree support left the overhangs pretty rough. These custom supports took about 30-45 minutes, and I've printed for far better results imho on the overhangs, as well as reduced printing time. Also I did print in the original orientation and horizontally, just found this gave the best strength. In the photos the right handed one will be the one printed with the custom support. Left is tree. I will be adding the straight section as well likely with similar custom supports, although it should lay flat, so may not be necessary. If there is a better way to export including the supports let me know and I will do so. Watch out when you import, save your profile settings first so mine don't overwrite. NOTE: the stl file included is just the original, thingiverse wouldn't allow a thing create without it, the 3mf file is the one you want to get the custom supports.
