Supports...what happened here?

First time trying to print with supports.

Slic3r settings:

Model:

Print:

Notice the internals...where the wheel is supposed to be, it is not there inside the support lattice.

Not related to supports, but reasons why the top layers are so course?

Your odds of printing that design successfully in one piece is pretty small. The original on YouMagine is 40 parts printed and assembled.

Re: Supports...what happened here?

You might want to try cutting that model down the centerline, and laying the two halves flat. Slic3r can do this easily, and then you can glue the two halves together with CA. It will still need a little supports, but nothing like that monster.

Any advices given are offered in good faith. It is your responsibility to ensure that by following my advice you do not suffer or cause injury, damage or loss. If you solve your problem, please post the solution…
