Is it possible to print this on MK3s using Prusa Slicer 2.5.2?
A friend asked me to print this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4969766
Description says it could be printed with no supports, but from what I see overhangs would collapse without support.
Or I am maybe wrong? Any suggestions how to print this?
This should be printed as precise and clean as possible, thus printing without support is preferred.

I print with mk3s with big and small over hangs all the time it should be fine
Please help me out by downloading a model it's free and easy but really helps me out https://www.printables.com/@Hello_474427/models

If you flip it to the other side, you can at least print the bayonet hooks cleanly and the filter threads should also need no supports, but the gap from the bed to the flat face on the (then) underside would need some support (or the famous "air hooks" from Siemens, don't know if they are commonly known outside of Germany). 😉 Without supports this flat part would come out uglier than with supports, I think. The snug supports in PrusaSlicer are easy to remove.
Perhaps you could also try to add a chamfer to the 90 degree overhang there with some clever modifiers in PrusaSlicer. I see no reason why a chamfer there could hurt for the use of the ring. It would no be in the path of light.

Or, another idea: make a cut, print both parts without supports and glue them together afterwards. 🙂
