Divided Weighted Companion Cube

thingiverse

I decided to print some WCC's for friends and family. I really wanted a clean print and any accurate model out there is going to have some overhang issues, even when printed on a vertex. NEW SIZES AND PLATES. I took the Weighted Companion Cube by Poh -http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33138 and sliced it in half for overhang-free printing. I personally think the ugly of a seam is lesser than the ugly of drooping overhangs and/or support trimmings. This model enlarges very nicely, but slight warpage might be a problem for large prints, resulting in an uneven seam. I've been playing with this Thing, and the "Hollow" has an underside that minimizes the contact with the print bed, in an effort to get warp free prints. Hasn't worked any better than the other versions, BTW. I preserved the original GNU- GPL license in this minor remix. Instructions If you enlarge this (and you should), do whatever tricks you know to keep the down side nice and flat - it will glue together so much nicer that way. I should mention that some of these STLs throw manifold errors with weird results when sliced with older (7.x) versions of Slic3r. Slic3r 1.x.x and later seems to have no problems with it. If you are entrenched in 3DP legacy slicing, Netfabb seems to fix it just fine.
