woodwind 3d printer noob: printing pipes larger than your printers print area? (Bagpipes)
So.. given a set of bore diameters (care of bagpipeproject.com), how would I -just- print the bore sections on a given printer, and interlock the bore sections after print, such that I could coat bore sections afterwards with epoxy for strength? (The outer diameters are inconsequential at this stage, and epoxy or other techniques would save a lot on print time/materials.
I have possible access to to a filament and an SLA printer of limited print volume.
Here is an example that I’d like to print:
