    My printer bed is not large enough for the base of this model. Is it possible to have it split in half? If not I could try cutting it in half in Hexagon or something.

      No Problem, Ill put this on the to-do list

    Hi guys,

    The latticework effect on the Radar Sphere (both the separate piece and the one half embedded into the Base) does not appear to be touching the model, forming a kind of very thin ‘cage’ around it and therefore not printing very well… the end results are very messy!

    I know this is an old model but could this be looked at please?

    I can supply images to illustrate if that would be helpful?

    Many thanks,

    Jim
