Description

The party dumped their meagre belongings in the corner of their lodgings, the Sandshade Hut. It wasn’t much, but it was a sight better than the stale quarters of the shuttle they took to get there. And warmer too, a little too warm. A small robot entered the room holding a tray of refreshments. Maybe this place wouldn’t be so bad after all. After the robot left, they could have sworn they had more luggage in the corner of the room.

Hello, is it possible for FDM printers with a large build plate to have each level in one piece and not cut into several (A, B and C)?
