Can anyone help me with my printer it’s not printing
https://slic3r.org/ - Slic3r
- any pro tips for cutting through weird support structure to the actual print? really wanted to print the monopoly man and loved this stl file, but printed it with support/raft and got this monstrosity. is there a good way to go about getting the supports removed (and hopefully keep the raft) ?

How would I split this model in Cura? (More details below)
I split my Boba Fett helmet STL in Slic3r. It was incredibly easy to split the file into 8 parts. The top and bottom halves split at the visor line, then split those pieces into halves and then halves again so they will fit on the bed.

What? Brim printed fine, but why is it doing this? Using Hatchbox PLA at 210 nozzle temp and 70 bed temp on an Ender 5 Plus. I'm using the Creality Slicer that came with
try using a diffent slicer. either cura or slic3r

Can the Voxelab Aquila 3D Printer use prusa slicer?
If PrusaSlicer doesn't work on your Mac, you should be able to download or compile a version of Slic3r that will.

tesla turbine style fan blade.
I use Slic3r where the preview is quite easy to get, but the configuration might be a bit scary to get done (although the defaults are reasonable) as you want to try with adding or removing support material.
