I stopped splitting 3D models in half after upgrading my print bed
For years, anything I printed that was bigger than a coffee mug came with an extra step baked in: drop it into the slicer, watch it hang off the edge of the build plate, and reach for the cut tool. My Elegoo Neptune 2 was a great little machine, but its 220 x 220mm bed decided the shape of everything I made, and anyone who's owned a bedslinger knows using the entire print volume is a pain. Helmets became quarters, busts became halves, and every project ended with an evening of superglue, filler, and sanding seams that never quite disappeared.
