Printability: size #6

The body and lid STLs are 236mm on the longest axis. which doesn't fit even on an Ender 3 Pro 235x235mm print bed, and shouldn't fit on the recommended Prusa mk3s+ 210x210mm bed either. Unless printed vertically, which would require a ton of support, affect quality and doesn't seem a logical way to go. Could you elaborate on how this was supposed to be printed?

The body at least doesn't fit on my Creality CR6-SE, too. Do you have experience with scaling the whole setup (e.g. to 90 %)?

mbravorus commented 3 years ago

I haven't tried yet - the scaling by itself shouldn't be a problem, but I am concerned about how well it would translate to tinier details and components. Was waiting for a response from the project creators, who obviously printed it somehow, but unfortunately the project seems to be functionally abandoned at this point.

Any practical insight would be more than welcome.
