This design was made to try out if the printer can handle it without support material, and the result came out pretty nice.Remember to use higher speed (around 60) at bridges, so they won't bend down. It also is an interestingly looking piece of art, if I can say that. At least watching all those smaller pyramids inside the big one is kind of cool. :) Fun fact: There are 540 standing pyramids and 210 upside-down pyramids in this mesh, which makes a sum of 750 pyramids. Note: It can take some time to generate its gcode. At least for me Slic3r had a hard time, I even went to eat my lunch and it was still slicing when I came back. Curaengine can slice it much faster. I apologize for this, it is because of my poor design for the object: It is not one object but lots of small intersecting pyramids put onto each other.

Hello there! I am by profession a programmer, and became close to 3D modelling as a child, because my dream was then to make a cool game. :) Since then 3D modelling became the biggest of all my hobbies, and even my job. Other hobbies include some hardware stuff like electronics and mechanics. I'm constantly trying to improve my 3D printer in both software and hardware aspects. Besides this I also print out some random stuff which I like.
