Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for plastic and nylon powder, Open Source showing up

There seems to be some major movement towards workbench SLS 3D printers for plastic, especially nylon. There are more open source projects happening. They use plastic powder rather than filaments. The parts are closer to injection molded since they are melted layers. The laser heads are coming way down in price.http://ift.tt/2bcr2Sp http://ift.tt/2aTa1dQ

/u/mrmastomas came here awhile ago seeking help making a model. After making the model he offered to make me an awesome painting. After receiving the painting I modeled and printed a custom easel stand

[Help] How can I get this to support efficiently?

Hey all, Just wondering I could get some advice on slicing a model-I have this component of a prototype, but am having issues with support material – the cut-out in the front needs supporting seen here, cross-section here – but I can’t simply apply support to the whole model, because the casing has two layers, and so with support the inside layer gets all clogged up with support material that would be impossible to clean – see the green parts here, cross section here.Do you have any suggestions on how to get this piece to print with proper support without ruining the detail structure on the inside/back? I need to be careful since it’s looking to be a 14-16 hour print. Thanks!FYI, I’m using Slic3r on a Flashforge CP. PLA. http://ift.tt/2bmNkRW
