So I tried to make my own content. Goal: make a small 3d 4-door bronco. I loaded in a pic of a bronco into Bambu MakerLab, after paying 2 credits to Export it, I spent many many hours cleaning up the coloring inside Bambu. I selected slice and after a while I ended up with something that looks like it came out of Stranger Things’ Upsidedown. What did I do wrong and how can I do this better? All help and suggestions greatly appreciated. (Yes there is a bronco inside there, it is with the spare tire on plate and head lights at positive z).
Are you referring to the supports surrounding the model?
Yes, it seems kind of excessive or is that normal? Is there something I can do to reduce them? The Bronco is pretty close to a rectangle, why the need for so much support?
Probably normal but you may have better luck changing the angle of the model. What are the 2 red lines coming from the fenders, are those trail markers, if so they may be hard to get them to print.
Edit to add, I happen to have a 23Black Diamond in red. The supports are there for for things like the fender markers and tires,

Lol, yes they are trail markers. I tried to remove them but got frustrated because I couldn’t get a cylinder to stay up in the air to slice them off, so I figure I would just let them print and I would cut them off if they even would print. I am sure I need to hit a YouTube to understand how to remove a piece that isnt touching the plate. I just was concerned that all these supports is because I didnt know to do something like click the foobar button to reduce resolution or some easy fix it button.
If you tilt it to a 45 degree angle or so you can get more of the supports on the bottom and less on top.
Edit again, I would probably print this if you share it.

It is my wife’s,m bronco, she thought i was crazy spending what i did on a printer. I started printing her bronco parts and she now thinks it is amazing. Now she wants a little version for her dash…i couldn’t find a 4-door so I figured it was time to try making my own content. Uggg…I am not ready for the time suck.
Well my wife drives the red Black Diamond, I have a 2024 Azure Gray 2dr Sasquatch.

Buys an off-roader that will never go off road
Might as well buy a Mustang like a real man

Ok yes I put it on a 45 and much less on top. I might try to print it…any prediction on what the printer will do for the trail markers now at a 45? Will it just skip printing them since they are so thin there are no supports for them?
I worked on a farm before I retired, more off road than on, Traded a 800hp ZL1 Camaro for my wife’s bronco 
, I did look at the Dark Horse Mustang a bit seriously.
@CincinnatiDesigns you are wrong. I never said we don’t go off roading?
I dont think you are getting those trailmarkers, they are smaller than the printer can do. I kinda think its going to skip them but I dont know.

Its just a joke based on a generalization.
Most of them are seen in suburban neighborhoods without a spec of dirt on them.

@Rusty35 w.r t. The trail markers…perfect, didnt want them anyway. I had noticed when trying to print Ford valve stem caps that the Ford was too small for the 0.4mm head. I just ordered a 0.2mm…will hope it will print the Ford logo with the smaller head.
@CincinnatiDesigns I do find it to be a beautiful vehicle when all washed up and sitting in the garage. I have no problems with art in the garage.
Well mine has been washed in ther driveway twice now and hasnt been move in 2 weeks. So you aint that far off.
Dark horse is not worth it for what you get. Too refined, not enough patriotism. But I only talk ■■■■ because I can not reasonably afford one.
I will ride out my 2013 GT Convertible until it dies. Last generation before Carrol Shelby died.
In all fairness, my daily driver is probably more dirty right now than most broncos.
Hey I think think I am pretty refined for a redneck.
