3D Printing Forum

Freecad might be able to do it, but my experience with that cad is extremely limited. I find the UI difficult to understand. https://www.freecad.org/ ok. i'll be trying my hand at that. can you explain in a bit more detail how you did the second step: '2.

OK, took the challenge and attempted to make something sliceable (if that's a word:}) 1. Brought your file into fusion as a mesh. 2. Did a mesh repair as a stich and remove function to do a rudimentary fix of the file. 3. Converted the mesh to a solid. 4. Saved the file as a .stl file 5. pulled it ...

what can i do to get it printing?

should i increase the thickness of the mask?

there must be a way of 3d printing a face..

Hello everyone, I'm trying to 3d print a face using cura as a slicer but it either won't work, or will only print a very small part of it on top of the supports.
