This is really well done and helpful. I spent 6 hours trying to figure out how the tools work and this guy explained them in under 5 minutes.

What a great tutorial! I love all of these Meshmixer tutorials. I had been trying for way to long to cut models in Meshmixer. Thanks Prusa!

Not only is this guy helping me out, it feels like he read my mind for what I purposed this for (a ukulele neck).

I know this is an old video, but what a gem it is. THANK YOU! I just used this method to cut down a GIGANTIC jetpack STL into 4 parts to print on my Ender 3 Max. I had messed with Meshmixer on my own and was driving myself crazy with frustration. I watched this a couple times and stepped along with your method and YES! THANK YOU!

Just getting into 3d printing and have seen some amazing prints but never knew how they got such clean cuts or even what the little nib connectors were. So thanks so much for this, super helpful and will be refuting back to this channel a lot in the future I can tell.

Thanks. You couldn't have chosen a better subject for me. I needed to do this last weekend! :)

Thanks Josef. Never could figure out how to do the pins.

Best Meshmixer tutorial video! So helpful and easy to understand!

Excellent tutorial! If you want to make sure that the arm doesn't twist you can add a second (smaller) cylinder next to the first one. Using the 3d primitive "box" (cube) is also a good method to guarantee that the part will stay in place without twisting. You might need to experiment with the tolerance values to make the parts fit perfectly.

Thanks for making this video, I've been looking for a video to give some guidance on how to give figures moving parts for a while now. This a great start

So helpful. Parts of Meshmixer have been very intuitive while others made... no friggin sense, this was really practical for what I need right now. Thank you!

Tyvm for the vid. Had some issues with the Meshmixer site being down but finally got it downloaded.

Really handy for making pockets for magnetising models too. Thanks

Excellent... even though 3yrs old, was still able to find the options and features in the menus. Doing my first big print that isn't already split and needed to know how to add the pins in, though I used square pins to ensure things are alinged.

That's really impressive for a 3 year-old, as is your typing.

This is gold! I've been struggling with a very large piece (a backpack for a costume), and I have to separate it into smaller pieces that can still be put together with reasonable precision. This use of primitives to make aligning-pins is perfect!

Wow meshmixer is great. Thanks super useful video making the pins and complex cuts was incredibly helpful.

Didn't think i'd find a video for the exact thing I wanted to know! thank you!

EPIC. Thank you so much. The Cut to make Shells, is exactly what I needed.

10/10 exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much

Thank you, this was incredibly easy to follow.

Thank you so much to this simple but amazing tutorial!

Thank you so much finally I found ur video so helpful now I can finish my 3d model without hesitation

awesome tut .. thank you .. also loved the little animation at the end ;)

Thanks. Helping my daughter make a furry suit and 3D printing ahead on a smaller 3D printer I had to cut the design up I had no idea how to but now I'm a super bad thanks to you.

OMG! This is what I was looking for! Greetings from Argentina.

Brilliant tutorial, thanks mate.

Seriously great and concise advice. If I could double like I would.

TYVM!!! This is amazing. I'm working on Christmas Presents, and this is going to make things amazing!!!! My dual extruder says thanks, as well. LOL

this might be a old video buy you just saved me hours of a head ache trying to get this to cut the right way!

simple and amazing tutorial! thx

Best one yet!! Thanks so much

Hulk Smash! xD Dude great tutorial.. Saved me hours of search.. I am lucky i found this in first try searching

giga helpful good work lad great tutorial now i can final print off a large model in my mars 3

Love you ma dude! was trying to figure this out :D

Thank you, I had a piece that was too large for tinkercad which I like to use as its much easier for me, after splitting into 2 I've now loaded them both in.

Thank you very much for sharing it!

Perfect tutorial :)

Heyyy!!! Inspired by your channel 😊

Amazing Video!!! That halped me a lot!

This video helped me alot and i thank you for that.

What is the target edge scale for? I tried researching, but found nothing? Overall, great video! I came across many videos for slicing in Meshmixer, but none of them showed how to incorporate using a peg to attach the pieces. What are your thoughts on instead of two holes and one peg, having one piece with the peg attached and the other piece with a hole?

Amazing, thank you!

Thank you so much!, this is exactly what I was looking for!!

Thanks for the tutorial, saved me a lot of issues and support material! Is there also a way to give the pins and the holes a chamfer? In my head those should always be round or chamfered, and I don't know if that's possible in Meshmixer

Thanks for sharing :-)

Hello!!! I adore your channel👌👌

THANKSSSS !!!!! perfecto tutorial !!

MUY BUEN TUTORIAL, TE FELICITO!!!!

VERY helpful, thanks

Where is the video about the MMU v2.0 ? ;)

Thank you!

Awesome video! Have followed your chanel. I followed instructions and worked well, but when i go to export the aligning pin it comes up with error : current selection is not a mesh?

Thanks, very succinct.

Thx for the video. One question, how do I export one piece of the cut?

If I may ask, what do you think i'm doing wrong if the pegs dont fit without serious grinding down? If it helps to understand, I think my tolerance is 0.45 which i know is a lot larger than most. But im not sure why.

danke top anleitung 👍👍👍👍👍👍

thx ;) hi5 from spain ;)

Thanks for the video, great stuff. Though following your steps I still have problems with the pieces not being able to fit. the primitive is just to fat after printing. Can I do something in the settings while in meshmixer do avoid this? Thanks. I am printing in 0.2 layer height mostly so I understand that It will expand a bit material wise. Cant understand the settings while in boolean difference really.

I think it's the Target Edge Scale kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpuXmJiNpqjRlZc.html He mentions it, but doesn't really expand on why he's doing it so I missed it. I'll need to try this out myself as my parts didn't fit either.

Excellent tutorial Josef, only concern I'd have is fit of the peg if it's not scaled slightly for tolerances.

I must have done something wrong following this tutorial, my peg didnt fit into the model. its slightly bigger :\

Very helpful

What about adding the pin to the other half of the model, via Boolean Union? Would save one part to be printed and should still fit perfectly as well.

the glue pin you made, would it be easier/better to make one a hole and the other be left inside the other part, so that you can just plug and play, and not have to line it up just right after print. like instead of a cylinder make it a star so that it would only fit in a certain rotation?

I know this is mostly for 3D printing but I've been trying to find ways to cut up models for implement a gore and dismemberment system in my game. So my question is say if your model is rigged would slicing up the character mess that up?

thx

Thx❤️

i never got me a sla printer because i thought splitting files would be very hard... but it actually looks pretty easy.. i got one question why do the allign pin isnt printed so the half sticks out of the body or the arm insead of using a loose pin?

exporting format? and after i guess u use cura before u print?

The method is straight forward, but as an aside, how do you get the parts to have that transparency (i.e., you can see the end of the peg that is inside the part @ 2:40 and 3:50)?

it looks like his model is hollowed on the inside, you can do this through your slicer software (I know prusa has this)

Is it possible to put assembly required pieces together and print as a solid model?

hi ‏Why did I cut and slice my model into pieces with Meshmixer and then put the pieces together vertically in Cura, there were approximately 24 pieces that I was able to prepare for printing in 3 times in Cura, i.e. in 3 stl files, my problem is that I printed the first layer It is printed like a net, which means that it is not like my other prints that the first layer is correct, clean and smooth, what is the problem? I have adjusted my models from left to right and horizontal to vertical to fit more in Cura

"advance" is not present on "difference" tool... why?

Is there a reason to not just combine the primitive with one side of the part? I would think you could then avoid printing the additional primitive and the connection would be more secure, but I'm not sure if there is a reason this is not ideal.

This is what I'm thinking. Have you discovered if theres a reason why?

but how do i do it with nms of accuracy? ive been trying for so long and all whats holding me back is the fact meshmixer gives you no ability to move the slicer without moving it with the arrows which moves it much farther than i need it to be

im very new to this software. i dont understand the part about exporting the separate pieces for 3d printing. how do i do that?

Is it possible to do it so the pins are just part of one side of mesh with the other part having the holes for those pins instead of making it holes on both sides with pins being separate?

You can use the Boolean Union instead of Boolean Difference

nice thanks

So on my models when I do solit shells I get a ton of shells....not just the two? Is there a way to fix this?

So now when you export you’ll have 3 objects? The main body and arm and then the peg and when you export to stl and compile g code, the printer will be making 3 objects? Is this correct?

still works in prusa 2.5? 2022 ? and old vertion of mesh mixer?

Is there a reason to do it in three pieces? Could you use boolean union on the arm to have it print with the pin sticking out of it, and then insert it into the body? Great Video btw.

@Prusa3D

5 жыл бұрын

You could totally do it the way you suggest. That the plane of cut is often used for placing the model on the bed. With the pin sticking out, not so much. But that varies model to model, so both options have a use. And thanks! :)

@@Prusa3D Gotcha. Makes sense.

thank you i love u

Pls where this hulk stl come from ?

won't it be a problem if the cylinder is so perfectly fit there is no difference between the boolean hole and the parent cylinder after printing and trying to push the cylinder into the hole?

Topp!

Any way to put them back together? I downloaded a model and it's cut into a bunch of tiny pieces

womp womp. went into the new meshmixer and the lasso tool doesn't select anything, it just disappears and no edit menu like he got. Gonna have to keep looking :X

I got a question: is there an advantage ofs using a separate loose pin like you did instead of a pin connected to one half?

@DarrenGedye

2 жыл бұрын

I wonder if the clean cut was the base for the print?

would it not be easier to just have the peg attached to the model on one side with a cut on the adjoining piece?

@ShortyNE

4 жыл бұрын

I was going to ask the same thing, I guess it depends on what you want to lay flat on your build plate. If you're slicing up it this way it may be that you want the sliced part of the arm to print flat on your bed.

It lags crazy when I try to do this on certain stl files. On most of them I cant use this method because the Meshmixer is just freezing at the same point over and over again

I know this is an older video but hopefully some one will see this... When I insert the primitive cylinder it does not automatically align to the cut plane. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

where can I find the stl for your hulk?

I have a huge 3d model , I want a software that automatically cuts the model and I want to give it some parameters for example max 200mmx200mmx200mm

hola porque del lado del cuerpo la escala es de 0.41, pero del lado del brazo es 0.47, no deberian ser iguales...
