    Thank you one million times, there is literally almost 0 info on search engines and videos on this subject in TH-cam, it kind of makes me question all this blender Tutorialist's how they never this obvious issues we are bound to run into.

    I am new to Blender 3D and to 3D printing, and that little throwaway comment about the bool tool? That was the most validating part of the whole video for me!
    I'm looking forward to getting back to my model and recreating it with you reminding me all the seemingly arcane keystrokes, too!

    I'm so excited about this video!! I've been working my way through your precision modeling course (which is fantastic) and I took a quick aside to watch this, out of curiosity. I think I may be able to fix and print an older model I had made now!
    Your tutorials are SO well done, I find it easier to learn from you than any other TH-camr, on any topic. Thank you so much!!

    On thin faces, the thinest that you can go is the nozzle width that usually is 0.4mm. The thickness that you mentioned on Prusa Slicer is for top and bottom not walls.

    Face loop selection via Alt+LeftClick works like a charm. What doesn't work consistently for me is Edge loop selections with Alt+LeftClick on Edges. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Also depends if edges for a face etc.

  • @rjv2395
    @rjv2395 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    great explanation of the errors, but not sure about the advice on fixing them manually. wondering if using the mesh clean up options might be a good video topic to combine with this. I mean not everyone works on large clumps of lego blocks. blender can do small parts with fine detail, but face count to show that detail can be high. What if you are working with 1 million + faces and have a high count of some of these errors? Manual fixes sometimes just arent feasible. using Make Manifold can work well if the errors are of a certain type. you're right about booleans sometimes causing alot of problems. sometimes parts will just not work. when that happens, I model to a certain point then do a voxel remesh to fix the issues. tks for the vids

    I'm getting intersect face errors on complex faces all the time, even though the face does not intersects anything. I guess the plugin has issues keeping the check within the bounds of the face. I guess it would help to break such faces into tris or quads but I don't want to do that. As long as I'm sure there are no real problems it prints just fine.
    When visualising things like zero edges or faces, I find it useful to switch to wireframe view and vertex mode because it will highlight not only the problematic parts but also edges leading to them. View selected also helps.

    Just one little point. Contig. is an abbreviation for Contiguous rather than _Continuous._ Meaning sharing the same border, or butting up against, where Continuous obviously means uninterrupted.

  • @ChainsawDNA
    @ChainsawDNA หลายเดือนก่อน

    Non-Flat Faces: If you have a mesh where it's not critical how the non-flat faces are fixed, for an automated approach press the "Non-Flat Flaces" button, which will select all of them. Then, under the "FACE" menu, select "TRIANGULATE FACES". That's all there is to it.

  • @severedcreations521
    @severedcreations521 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I'm working with a very dense, high poly mesh that keeps running into these issues when I do any boolean action on them. Although this video does a fantastic job of explaining each problem and how to fix it, it's MUCH easier to do on a simple cube than on a complex surface. I was wondering if there are any ways to fix the issues on something super dense??

      @johnkeyberg3476 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you are doing models for 3D printing, I've found that voxel remeshing on the Object Data Properties fixes most of the issues. Most printers end up triangulating your mesh anyway, so hanging on to quads seems not necessary, as far as I know.

    Great video but one question. Does text need to be converted to mesh to 3D print?
    I made a simple extruded line of text but converting it to mesh produces 4780 Non Manifold Edges and 3540 Zero Faces!!!
    No way can I fix that!
    I just tried exporting to stl without converting to mesh and it seemed to work. Is that the correct way?

    Hey, today is 11/03/2023 and I have watched your tutorial here a dozen times and I still can’t duplicate or repeat the process you illustrate for clearing out zero faces or thin face? Every time I try it either cancels out the changes and goes right back to the same issues or it creates more problems like bad Contig., sharp edges, etc….could you possibly help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?

    quick question, I am making a 3d Model of a house only thing that shows up is overhang faces 141 to be exact, but these are mostly the bottom of the model where it will sit on the plate, others are because window and door openings up top , should I worry about those? can't really do what you did and keep it square

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The overhanging faces are just to let you know what is over 45 degrees. If you know that is the base of the model then you are fine =)
