My last purchase ( ive had 10 printers over the yrs ) was a 109 dollar copy of the ender 3 .. it works perfect , no issues.. and if it died tommorow id lose no sleep.. think of them as disposable tech it will ease the decisionWell... I ordered the FLSUN QQS Delta.. I'm hoping my OCD helps me get it straight before much printing, but it has really good reviews and even some from newbies like myself. sounds good ,as long as u get it leveled , it will do everything you want..deltas are especially good at taller structures as the bed is not making the print sway

I got into printing in late 2019, I’ve exclusively printed other people’s files. I’ve printed in PLA,PETG and ABSPETG is the cheapest filament on amazon so I print in it, and I print the initial layer very slow on my Flsun QQ-s.I haven’t designed anything myself but I have printed files with built in supports for the unavoidable 45 degree angles, so maybe you could flip the print as others have said, but add little cylinders as supports.The Flsun QQ-s was not my first printer, it is a pain to level and instructions and customer service aren’t great, but it’s a solid printer, I’ve marathoned for 4 days with mine and I’m still on my original nozzle.The printer is a great one for experimenting with changing filament during a print.
Looks like FLSUN QQ-S is one of the options in Cura. If you haven't already, download it (free) and slice your part with supports on and see what it puts in.After the delta, you could always scale up to one of the Hangprinter builds https://wiki.fablabchemnitz.de/display/TH

I was under the impression that the slicer could ad them...
agreed with what every one else is saying.. Dont get too deep into cura settings ,not when youre starting .. You will end up bogged down trying to find which mistakes you made and when.. Set the infill ,temps for the extruder and bed ,adhesion type ( brim does just fine for newbs, raft as a backup plan ) select your machine in the dropdown , or closest to it..your nozzle size , filament size. ,,, theres a basics page , thats all you need.. try to avoid cura generated supports , it usally generates a cluster-f--k mess you cant fix easily... Print , toss, think , print ,toss , think ,repeat. Filament is cheap, so dont be afraid to print one item5 different ways.

I may just do like the suggestion and put little tubes where I think they are needed.. Very interesting stuff..
The printer has been moving around my area for 3 days and not being delivered LOLI stayed in the area for a few days to stop porch pirates. Oh well.. Gives me more time to read up on this printer.. Hope I don't screw it up assembling it. To me, manuals read like Chinese even when in English.. Now that I think about it, learning that language may become a necessity in the next few years it seems..
The Skynet 3d printers will be self replicating........
Without pictures, it did not happen. Congratulations, now you can move onto more important stuff.... like bag clips.
hahahaa on the tide pods.. looks good so far, doesnt seem you had trouble leveling
looks good to me , youre moving right along.
