Hmm, this thread was stalled for a while!!!
Well, the hood is way too big to fit on the print bed, so I had to chop it into parts, my first attempt split it down the middle and in thirds.
Trouble is that the "grill" in the middle is wiggly, so would need support for that middle section. And the support posts are just annoying in that orientation, needing support to print.
So, I split the middle section in two again.
I managed to nest the larger pieces (opposite corners) and barely get them to fit on the XYZ Printer. No clue how long the print was, but over 25 hours!!!
The ones with the supports were tougher to arrange, but again the opposite pairs managed to barely fit. Fortunately it printed faster!
