3D printers can’t print in mid-air without support structures. Get to know of 5 types of supports to successfully print designs with overhangs that exceed 45 degrees angle.
Change orientation, scale, hollow, add supports, and fix non-manifold errors in your designs in Meshmixer.
Today, I’ll show you how to print a 3D map, that can serve in a number of situations not only using ourOriginal Prusa i3 MK3printer. How about a plastic model of terrain for school education, a small-scale version of a national park, a model that shows the overview of a real-world...
I had neglected to add supports for parts of the model, like arms, that overhung into empty space. The resolution was too low and the speed too high. Argh. Over time, I got better at it, but I often found using the M5 printer a frustrating experience. I would usually start a long...
Slic3r is a ‘slicer’ -- a software that processes the 3D model and generated instructions for the 3D printer, for example by slicing the volume into thin layers, creating supports for hanging elements, and so on. The version of Slic3r used in this tutorial is a custom version tailored...
Also, when you add your machine to the3D slicer, it usually comes with pre-configured profiles, and you won’t need to adjust many settings. You only need to confirm that the material and printing temperature are as intended. You can also 3D print atemperature calibration tower, especially ...
