Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to build things. One day, she got a 3D printer for her birthday and she couldn't wait to start making all sorts of cool things!

She learned about all the different types of materials she could use, like mesh and monomer, and how to make models with high resolution. She also found out about something called a raft that helped her models stick better to the build plate.

Lily soon became an expert at using her printer and was able to make all sorts of amazing things, from toys to jewelry. But one day, she wanted to make something that really moved. So she learned about motors and how they could be used to make things like cars and robots.

She worked hard on her design and finally, her motor-powered car was ready to be printed. But when she started the print, she noticed something was wrong. The overhang was causing the model to droop and ruin the shape of her car.

But Lily didn't give up. She remembered what she had learned and found a way to support the overhang so her model would come out perfectly. And it did! Her motor-powered car was a huge success, and she was so proud of all she had learned and accomplished.

From then on, every time Lily used her printer, she thought about all the possibilities and adventures waiting for her and her imagination was the only limit!
