About This File
This is the NSD Cowl 1.0.0 By Macropod80, but split into 4 roughly equal sized quadrants which can be printed on printers with a much smaller build area. I created these splits for my Flashforge Adventurer 3 which only has 150x150x150 build area, and they print fine, and join together pretty well with nice tight seams. Someone more proficient at 3D modelling than I could perhaps improve these models by adding some alignment/reinforcing tabs along the joins to aid with accurate assembly and strengthen the joins in the assembled piece. In my case I joined the pieces with superglue and held them together by hand while the initial bond formed.
Whilst the seams are fairly tight & neat, they're not invisible, so the completed assembled cowl will still need filling, sanding & painting. The parts need to be printed with supports, which are not in these model files, you'll have to add them in your slicer.
I printed these in PLA with 0.2 layer height, and each quadrant is roughly a 16 hour print at the highest quality on my machine.
Hope this helps someone!
