Howdy!   I've always enjoyed mechanical print in place models. Howdy is my attempt at a fun to make, (almost) support free mechanical design that doesn't look like it should print in place. This model utilizes the overhang and bridging abilities of your printer to create a really impressive assembly free mechanism!   Print Settings: .2mm resolution 2 walls 25% infill No supports or brims *Slower print speeds and good cooling are needed for this model, so feel free to tune your own settings until you get it right*   Follow these steps to free the mechanism after printing:   1. Pull the two support tabs off the large gear.     2. Carefully push the main gear up from the bottom to free it from the mounting arms.     3. Use a scraper to gently loosen the pivot arm.     4. Press firmly into the top of the crank handle to pop the drive gear loose. You'll hear a click and the crank will then rotate freely. This may take some force to free up, so don't be afraid to give it a good press.   Your Howdy is now ready to go! Remember that this is a difficult stress test, so your bridges and overhangs may be unsightly. I printed my model on an X1 Carbon, but the multicolor can be achieved by painting or using the included 3mf file if you have a multicolor system. I hope you enjoy this model and feel free to give your feedback!
