Hi Guys, Im fairly new to 3d printing i was just wondering if there was a quick way to make this just the frame? Like similar to a lattice or something like that.

Im kinda confused.. do you mean like a single wall shell? like an egg?

If so look at the setting called "Spiralize Outer Contour"

I see the word "Lattice" in there so I'll assume @GTzxseanxzTG wants all those "window" panels removed.

The short answer is no.  The reason is that although you can print the model as a hollow object, mathematically it is sold through and through.  It would need extensive rework to be an open frame sort of model.

Here you go.  Good luck printing it without supports it looks possible but might need extra cooling (like an external parts cooling fan)

All Right!  A geodesic egg.

That wouldn't be too bad if there was a big ole hole in the base.  Without an access hatch it would be really tough getting the support material out.

If you keep this up I won't have anything to complain about.  I still will of course but it will be even more inane than my regular complaining.

Haha... well it looked like something I would want to print for myself too so now we all can... I prolly wont unless I can do it without supports.. probly the resin printer can pretty easily..
