Hello All, I have an entry level 3D printer (XYZ Davinci jr) printer which has worked flawlessly for me printing some very detailed and cool stuff but I was wondering whether printing the extension block was advisable and whether you would print it solid (use a lot of PLA) or allow it to do standard honeycomb which seems fairly strong. I'd like to try it on JD's legs

If you print anything solid, the dimensions will be off due to expanding from heat and variants in extrusion speeds.
Thanks
You don't need to print anything at 100% infill.... 30% will be fine... experiment with shells as they contribute somewhat to proper part demesions....
The part has recommendable infill, which is suggested at 15%
Here is a link to the part with appropriate STL files: https://synthiam.com/Community/Revolution/EZBitDetails.aspx?guid=d7b19f96-75b6-46c4-82ed-bce7ce4ec2a4
Now, all printers are different - specifically across manufacturers and models. And that also introduces variants from different slicers as well. In the physical world, nothing is "always the same"
Might take a few tries to see what works best with your printer - but hey, you got the weekend to play!
Thanks for all the help. Trying it tomorrow. Since even if I print them, I don't really know how to program JD to walk with the extra leg piece.
