Ok, i praised S3D’s support generation, then this happened, self healing supports. I almost killed the print but I am glad I didn’t.
Impressive. Always seems like mistakes know how to hang out in midair better than the intended structures!

@Nathan_Walkner Actually, there is no way those gun barrels could have been printed without supports. They hang lower than any surrounding part of the print.
Nice 
It shows what could be done – those supports could intentionally (rather than serendipitously 
build out at, say, 45+ degrees, starting small and that would save a fair bit of material and print time.
Always come up on the same problem
Anybody know best support generator program. All I use now is slr3
@Nathan_Walkner how would u reattach them? What do u normally use
@Nathan_Walkner The model was not my own, it is up on Thingiverse, have at it!
Edit* Yes you are correct, I could have split at the shouders, split the arms in two, keyed the parts and would have had less supports, and as a result less waste. (A lot more seams to deal with)
Just as frustrating as it is to see people overuse supports, think about the people who just critisize others without offering valuable advice, advice which would help them “design better parts”. I assume based on your comment, that I should cut the guns off at the wrist? Then stand them up?Lay them flat?split them?
Also, a glued joint would not be as strong as printing the piece in this orientation, so if safety was a concern, print the piece this way would be better suited around small children / animals.
@Nathan_Walkner The post wasnt trying to describe any process, or any special settings, it was a fun post to show that the print self corrected itself. I am not into wasting filament, but this filament is very old (2 1/2 year old hatchbox glow ) and very brittle so I wasnt very concerned about wasting a little.
