Again thanks for all your help.

It was called eWASTE you can look it up. It took a lot of fiddling around to get a good print. Real good for learning but not for printing. I attached a photo from the internet. Ours was built with wood not Plexiglas. spent about $90 to build.

Wow I,m 64 and raising a 13 year old. 3 years ago I built a 3d printer from 2 DVD drives X axis and Y axis. Z axis I used a 3.5 floppy drive. This summer I bought a Anet A8 and watched my 13 year old grandson as he did the build. Now I know to use Solidworks to make this model water tight. This is a awesome community. Thanks to all that chimed in and pushed me in the right direction. Regards Dan Welch

Support warped up and it crashed. Back to the drawing board.

Started the print and it’s just printing the support.

I just checked and now I can see support. My next question is how do you guys cut this support out? Exacto knife.

I just uploaded the stl of the model. In Cura first I scale it down to 30%. I get a little over 2Hr print time but I don't really see were it added support for the print. Can anybody show me a screen shot of what it should look like? Body.stl

Ok. I clicked support. I will try a print.

Anet A8, ABS, single extruder,hollow body about 8” long. Using Cura. Don’t know how to handle support to print this. But figure if I don’t have support it will not print right. I’m a beginner. Ok sorry. I am using PLA. MY MISTAKE.
