Modify an .stl file enlarging - narrowing- hole creating

21

Yeah… My first DM Screen - Magicrate kickstarter ( really well done )

I ended up using a dremel to cut out the holes… and then I filled and covered it with putty then sanded down… It was a pain and a mess…

Redoing it properly this time.

Are you using Fusion? Prusa Slicer? Sounds like you really earned that print!! :slight_smile:

I visited this https://www.3dslash.net/tuto.php?mode=0&id=0 and the volume slider in that is all the way up, the Windows 10 Volume Setting slider is all the way up but I don’t hear anything. I pressed the letter “m” on my Windows 10 laptop but I still don’t hear anything in 3D Slash tutorials, I can hear any other videos. Thanks.

Hi Jason
Thanks for the list I will check it out when I find some time.

Hmm yeah there doesn’t seem to be any audio for me either. Must be something wrong with their website :man_shrugging:

I’m relieved! :woozy_face: I was starting to think I needed some work done to my ears. Thanks for checking.

I get audio. weird.

I use fusion but it is easily a whole curriculum to teach to students. It is professional software and is quite fully featured. I would suggest Prusa slicer it will cut, add and subtract simple shapes modify some or all of a model and it can be sorted out in a few hours at all levels easily. Poking a simple hole and scaling is super easy.

Fusion looks awesome but thanks for recognizing (or recalling?) that it’s a program requiring a certain amount of time to become comfortable with it. I have to move from station to station throughout the library each day so I don’t have a lot of time to be in our tiny makerspace. I did install the latest Prusa Slicer which I’m trying to learn on the run as well. Thank you and everyone on this forum for all your help, understanding and patience.

The lab at work has a a lot of printers (30) our students tend to want the end result and the process of getting to it is not on the radar. The easiest fastest solution is the one they like.

I’ve been lucky so far as most of teh kids (not all) are fascinated by what 3D software can do. I’ve been showing them in Tinkercad but recently several Thingiverse .stl files wouldn’t import into Tinkercad so it got me to thinking if the Prusa Slicer is more relaioble than Tinkercad then why not learn that and then teach the kids how to use that? I have much to learn before I can teach that but every step I do gets me closer to being a better teacher (and printer).
