Description
This is a modified version of the Advent Replicator 2 that does not need any support to print it out.
Instructions
If you are having issues, this is easier to print than the original.
It prints out on it's side, no support is required.
Still looks good even with a few minor mods to remove the need for support material.

I am just having no end of trouble to print this piece. Can you tell me what settings you are using? My "towers" (for the rods and the front upper cross bar) are just not forming right.
My Slic3r 0.9.1 settings for this model were -
; generated by Slic3r 0.9.1 on 2012-12-11 at 17:21:06
; MendelMax Black Machine
; First layer is forced to be the same as the rest at 0.47mm - nozzle is 0.42mm for 0.5mm Jhead
; layer_height = 0.25
; perimeters = 2
; solid_layers = 3
; fill_density = 0.20
; perimeter_speed = 55
; infill_speed = 65
; travel_speed = 350
; scale = 1
; nozzle_diameter = 0.42
; filament_diameter = 2.86
; extrusion_multiplier = 1
; single wall width = 0.59mm
; first layer single wall width = 0.47mm
You really need to use a fan if printing this as any reasonable speed as above.
And if you are using Slic3r V 0.9.7 then remember the solid infill threshold area setting, it may be trying to over extrude on those tiny 'towers' if you have it set too high
What slicer and Version are you using?
I'll check the Gcode and upload the settings I used - nothing special if I recall.
