Description

MrFozzie produced an excellent array of pokeball models and I love his work. However I was having issues printing the inner shells for his pokeballs. check them out here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1615753.

The inner shell has a circular overhang which requires supports however this overhang starts at a point so Simplify3D does not recognize this area for support untill several layers up. This causes the area to fail and It took me several tries to get a successful print which I couldnt get.

So I took to Solidworks and simply cut away the pointed edge to get a nice flat starting base for the supports in S3D to recognize. This small change caused my first attempt to succeed perfectly.

I hope this will help others get successful prints as well.
