Hey @West just curious did you use the model I posted or another? How’d you go with that bottom overhang part?
@Ziggy Cheetos Dust I ended up modeling my own ashtray as it’s a pretty simple model and I wanted all the source curves if I wanted to tweak it down the line.
For the overhang I printed with tree supports and then sanded that area nice and smooth. Then vapor smoothed the whole thing. Zero layer lines and the overall surface is glass smooth.

Sweet!!! will you share the stls? hehewell I learned a few things in tinkercad today and ... voilà:
they are printing now ... will post the results and if ok will post the remixes!
Here's the Taito one. Print with support. 20% infill.
Let me do more tests for SEGA cause I am still not happy with it.
@Ziggy Cheetos Dust : ask your buddy if he's ok for me to post these remix on thingiverse? want to give him credit of course.
If I may make a suggestion, print with 100% infill if you’re going to spend the time. Trust.
The ashtray feels so much better as solid plastic rather than a hollow shell. The weight and feel makes it much more like a real arcade ashtray. Set the print off before bed and it’ll be done by morning.

@notsonic I have a Sovol SV01pro and my favorite ABS is Polymaker Polylite ABS.
When I was first researching printing with ABS I encountered the same thing as you, people saying how hard it was to print with, smell, warping, needing an enclosure, all that. Honestly I just decided to jump in, encounter the problems for myself, and I discovered it wasn’t all that problematic.
I haven’t found the need to print with an enclosure (bought one and it’s still in the box). My printer is in the basement where the ambient temp is between 60-70 on average. I definitely encountered a few warping issues but solved them with a glue stick layer on the glass or pei bed (heated to 210) and printing with a brim. I print that particular ABS with a nozzle temp at 95, no cooling, and I lay down the first layer at 10mm a sec, nice and slow. After the first layer I speed up to 60mm. Smell was a non issue I found and I would have noticed as my basement isn’t the most well ventilated of spaces.
Honestly after dialing it all in I haven’t had any significant problems with ABS and have printed a number of those ashtrays and other parts without trouble.

Thanks for the info. I have a Prusa MK3s+. They want like $400 for their enclosure, but there's little tents on amazon for like $40. I mostly print with PET. Polymaker's PET is pretty nice.
Maybe I'll just give it a shot and see what happens.

Well after trying a couple of times to print it as "holes", I must say that printing SEGA as solid is the way to go.
it's not perfect but hey, give it a try and let me know what you think?! (support required)

He’s happy for you to post them.
Thank you! if he wants his name to appear, let me know else I've just mentioned "this forum" as the originator. I've included the plain and namco one, to his credit, if again that is ok with him.

I would recommend looking into the IKEA Lack enclosures, I built one for my printer a while back and couldn't be happier! The most expensive part was sourcing nice high quality plexi of the right size and thickness. https://www.printables.com/model/22008-double-stack-ikea-lack-enclosure-v2-works-w-mmu2s

Cool thanks. You could put Hamo as the creator of you have a chance. I’ll find out if he’s on thingyverse as well.
