I just purchased an Ender 3 V2 to print some of the TNA pieces and now I’m needing to print the GnR spotlight linkages. Thank you Agima2000 for posting the STL files. I’m looking at them and wondering how to orient these in order to get a successful print. This one I think will print OK if I rotate it to print vertically:

But this one seems to be a bit more of a challenge to orientate as those nubs are going to prevent a simple 180 flip:

Any advice for a newb is appreciated!

Supports! Thank you - that’s what I need to study up on.

I’m using Cura as my slicer.

I tried printing the first one as pictured but ended up with quite a bit of filament in the void area under the prongs.

Thanks all - great tips! Support was the key to a successful print - now I just need to carve out the support pieces. It ended up printing better laying down - I had a couple of failures trying the vertical orientation.

I was having adhesion problems initially on my Ender 3 v2. I switched to the smooth glass side and started using this:

3D Printer Adhesive Glue Bed Weld

Pretty amazing stuff - it only becomes slightly tacky with heat. Dust and debris doesn’t get all over your bed when cool. Parts pop right off after the bed cools. You only need to reapply every 5-10 prints. Water soluble.
