After slicing and storing the result to anywhere you want, there you will have TWO FILES, one is the GCode-file with the extension *.gcode and the other is the choosen format like *.x3g or what ever. That you reach by setting in Tab Scripts > Post Processing the spezial format. If "M3D" is Makerbot printer you need their own print format. I used to be able to bring the gcode files into M3d Following these guidelines will ensure that you will successfully print a part that is larger than your printer’s build volume.If I hit print Preprep to print, with the model positioned half below the Z, >Īctually it shows it as just half in the M3D printer but then it says optimizing and then the whole model shows up. Finally, use your design skills to properly segment and place the sub-parts on the build plate for efficient and effective printing. These enhanced joints along with adhesive supplements will ensure that the finished assembled product will not suffer any ill effects from segmentation. Next, make sure to use standard joint solutions that that will enhance the strength and efficacy of the segmented sub-parts. Also, use existing contours of your model/part to “hide” well placed segmentation. The first rule is to segment your model/part in such a fashion as to mitigate stresses that will be placed on the completed model/part. Printing a 3D model/part that is larger than the build volume of your printer can be challenging, but achievable if you follow these basic rules. If at all possible, plan to print you joint section of the model/part at an angle to the z-axis. 0:00 / 27:50 3D Printing Separating Cutting Models Vortex Cinema 8.61K subscribers 5.9K views 5 years ago Hello all today I shall show you guys how to separate and cut models in simplif圓d. As you well know, the weakest part of a 3D printed model/part is along the layers in the direction of the z-axis. Also, you may want to consider how the joint is printed in relation to the z-axis. Sometimes this is unavoidable, but most times it is best if another edge is utilized as the base of the print. Remember not to use any section of a joint as the base of the print. Finally, one needs to consider how these sub-parts should be printed in order to optimally print a completed model/part.
