Logan's Blender to 3D printer notes
Note: More images and link will be added later.
To print an blender object using our 3D printer, do the following to prepare your model:
Parts That You Can Do:
- Join all the meshes in your model.
- If you only have one model on your blender stage, just delete the camera and lighting source and press "a" (to select all) followed by "ctrl J" to join them. Keep the model selected.
- If there are multiple models on your blender stage, each separate model's pieces will have to be joined separately. Ctrl-click to select each mesh. Once a model's sub meshes are all selected, press "ctrl J" to join them. After all models have been joined, select all of them.
- Now click File->Export->Stl (.stl)
- Save the export.
Parts That Logan Typically Does:
- Open the stl in Cura on a machine connected to our printer.
- Resize the model to a more appropriate size.
- Make sure the printer is correctly set given what plastic is being used.
- Print!
