Even for larger items I’ve often found printing sub-assemblies and gluing together to be a useful technique.

E.g. I needed to replace a shaped plastic cover for a handle mechanism on a motorhome/RV. Breaking the design into two parts and making it so they clip together (rather than permanently gluing in that particular case) meant I could print a complex design without supports.
