Three cheers for the Thor modification by Danny at: 'Thor' robot with add-ons and GUI

The original ARTTOP_01 part required 8,5 hours of printing and probably 30% of the volume were support structures. My 3D printer always had big issues with a combination of ABS plastic, big objects and when it has a big volume of support structure.

The original print last week got warped so much that I had to terminate the print, then print the top halve and glue them together. (middle part)


Danny's modification ARTTOP_01_PARTS 1-2.ZIP has cut them in halves so I can print them separately with no support structures. Each halve takes 3,5 hours to print so it shaved off 1.5 hours from the original.

Top halve

Bottom halve

Both glued together as one perfect part.

Thanks Danny.
