Summary

I love the look of this model but needed it to be much larger, at least 12" tall, but my printer isn't that big (Prusa i3 Mk3). So, I got to work splitting it up in places that would be able to hide the seams. While doing that, I also added simple keys so that the parts can easily line up and be glued, or maybe even hold together without glue.

The top pieces are printed upside-down, and I recommend that the tall screen pieces are oriented on your build plate such that any build plate motion does not cause problems. For an i3 type printer, that usually means to line them up parallel to the Y-axis.

The printing went well. Took pretty much an entire spool of filament, even with optimizing infill and perimeters. Sorry about the lighting in the photo. If I decorate this piece, I'll get some better images.
