Summary

EDIT: No problems reported, but this was a very early print of mine, it is not tested, sit on it at your own risk and consider reinforcing the insides. It works great as a platform for a speaker or plant.

I printed this without supports, it actually survived and looks great after some post processing, but I would not recommend it, there was a lot of string to clean. Use supports, print slow, and use some sort of software to optimize the model, I think I left too much detail either in the .stl or my gcode. Still looks great, but if you slice it wrong/don't optimize it the printer will pause over the tips of rounded surfaces. Idk maybe that's just my bad printer, I'm new to this.

If you optimize this model and print it properly, it should print flawlessly. If it's weird, you'll notice on the first layer.

I printed it in a nice yellow PLA, it looks cool in other bright colors too. I will upload pics irl of it soon.

If you want this thing to support more than 120 pounds on a good day, add some permanent thick supports in between the two layers of the stool seat, and in between some of the legs, that should make it quite safe. I didn't do that and I'm worried it's going to break under me one day, although it feels sturdy so far, it's not as structurally ideal as it easily could be with a few small permanent supports. Idk what the weight limit is, if you print this on PLA w/o supports don't sue me if you hurt yourself. I'm fine so far though, I'll keep y'all updated if it breaks on me.
