Neat build! Thanks for sharing. I’ll watch the video later to get more details, maybe you explain in the audio. I’m not sure I understand “3d printed bracing that doesn’t allow the machine to move and translate that movement into defects on the print” - I’m not aware of what kind of movement you’re …

thanks, this makes sense. based on the geometry of the model I don’t think any slicer has a choice but to create that island. Support is the way to deal with that.

Get the UMO+ kit for sure!!! I do not think the UM2 is worth the extra money, especially since your a school and want to have the experience of building you own, the UMO is more hackable too.
