Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

@decryphe I didn't draw them myself. AE86.DDD (on Instagram) created them and he shared the models with the community.

@Ivan141 I don't have experience with creating those supports yet. I'm relatively new to printing and still learning how to create my own 3d printable objects. I used to be an artisan in 3D Studio and created many 3D objects in the past (like over 25 years ago), but those were used for the demos and (unfinished) games me and Mux made. 3D printing requires a whole different way of thinking on how to construct or print these objects,

I found a good tutorial on how to create supports with the slicer tool and it's actually quite easy. It's currently printing the same left door-cup and I'll keep my fingers crossed it works.

Edit: in case you are wondering, I followed the steps described in this video to paint the supports:

This is what the supports look like:

The slicer creates a tree-like structure to support and makes it easy to snap off without damaging the printed piece.

This is what the bottom of the cup looks like:

It still needs sanding, but it's not with the horrible loose filament dangling down that I had the print without the supports.

Now you're cooking! Much better.
