    Holy crap dude THANKS!!! I've tried four different channels on splitting an STL, all claiming to be easy! Ha! You nailed it! Easy and fast! I've been trying to 3d print a third edition Talisman board game add on for weeks! I've had the game for 25 years and the dragon add-on has been out of print for years and goes for hundreds on eBay. But i found someone who gave me the stl files. They're larger then my printer and because of you i can now print the last add-on that has eluded me for years. Thank you!!!

    Nice turtorial Santube 3D! One thing I'd like to add is, and this is just me but, I personally always try not to "throw away" those little extra pieces that are generated when slicing. Instead, I combine them back with the object they came off of. If you can see it or find it, click on the little piece in the object browser, then click on the little magnet icon in the object browser to make the little piece the "target" and it should highlight onscreen so you can see it. Next, combine that piece with whatever object it was sliced off of. First, turn off target mode for the little piece(click the magnet icon again), then select the piece in the object browser, then ctrl click on windows or command click on mac the object that it was sliced off of in the object browser. You should now have both objects selected in the object browser and on your screen. From there choose "combine" from the window that will pop up on the top left of your screen after selecting both objects. *NOTE: If you select both objects and the window pops up on the top left of your screen but you do not see the "combine" option, make sure that both objects are visible by clicking the little eye-con(I couldn't resist) to the right of each object in the object browser.* This should successfully merge both objects into one. You want to do this anytime you slice and have an extra little piece show up because if you just throw it away, your taking the chance on having an object with weird artifacts such as an incomplete mesh or non-planar polys. This of course can mess things up for you down the line. Yes, when slicing the program "should" recreate the mesh and close it up where the little piece was sliced off but it may do so in an odd way that leaves you with a small area of the object that is different than the rest. This is not mandatory to do and is just my $0.02 from working in the CGI field for some 20 years. Software doesn't always work as it should as I'm sure you all know. Again, good job on the tutorial!

    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
