Finally someone who actually takes their time showing you how to do something simple for those of us who are a little intimidated by something new. I appreciate this video so much. Subscribed!
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!!!
Thanks! Tried to learn how to cut stl's in Meshmixer in the past but could't understand how to do it. After watching your video I realise how easy it really was🇸🇪
Seriously man, so helpful!!! Watched quite a few vids but no one broke it down like that. I think when People are doing anything for a long time they skip over some steps they think are obvious. Changing the printer for example. Thanks so much! Subscribed!
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!
Thanks for this vid it really helps out. I have Meshmixer and had totally forgotten how to cut the models since I'm planning on printing a pretty big one on my CR-10.
Liked video! I'm totally new to using meshmixer and am using your videos to learn it. Please do a video on creating your own models from scratch using the basic shapes like a rectangle and putting print and indentions on it.
is there a way to slice the object vertically but even on both sides? say you just want the head and mid section. cut horizontally in the mid section but how can you cut vertically on both sides accurately?
Hi, there I have an issue that once I import the stl I can only view the printer cage once clicked print and then when click modify it discards the position changes...
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
great info. Is it possible to copy and past objects - example copy a raspberry PI symbol on one side to the other side of a case - the PI symbol has holes and depth for a speaker and would want to copy it and paste on a spot that's is solid. Thanks
Any chance you could create a tutorial on how to create parts that would allow you to snap these separate pieces together? Like a peg or something like that?
Does anyone know how to get the PRINT BED part of Meshmixer to center on the screen, I keep importing files, it brings the file in like 7 thousand feet away from the Print Bed Diagram, and I have to zoom out to even see the print bed part but everytime I Zoom back in after moving the file to the print bed area, The Print bed area will not center to the middle of the screen. It keeps going off to the left and out of View.
Thats hard because you would have to place the parts next to each other perfectly but if you did manage to do that then there is a feature called make sold which takes all the pieces and makes it one whole.
I can explain it to you but I would have to make another video on it because its not something I can just type out, I would have to show you. So let me see what I can do.
Thank you! Do you have a video where you go step by step how to make pegs and holes at the exact same height of each other. I can't find a proper one that has all the steps slowly and clear for me to learn as a newbie.
awesome thanks for the info. I see real big things in my future now lol. You do know you can center it and drop it on the table in meshmixer with align right?
i wanted to print Tifa Lockhart that I found in thingiverse, I am new to meshmixer and I sorta encounter a problem as soon I plant to cut it in at least half... I press separate shells after plane cut.... what it gave has tons of list of STL files when I only needed 2 STLs because i cut it into half. can you help me with this? because meshmixer still confuses me
First video that shows how to do this properly. Thanks a lot.

You are my new favorite channel! I've finally found someone to help me out with the basic questions but also sometimes a little complex too!
This is the only good video I found on the subject after 2 hours of looking through crap. Thank you very much!
Thanks! Tried to learn how to cut stl's in Meshmixer in the past but could't understand how to do it. After watching your video I realise how easy it really was🇸🇪
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was an excellent tutorial! One of the best and most concise I have seen in a while.

Glad you liked it! Good luck and happy printing.

Easy peasy. Thanks for the very easy to follow video...NEED more of this on YT.
Thank you.
1000 thank to you man. This made it so simple. I know the vid is a few years old but def helpful
Fantastic video! I've been looking everywhere for this information. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything in detail.
You're very welcome! Good luck.
This is perfect...I found a great Stormtrooper helmet, but it was one file, and too big for my E3 Max. If I could like this vid twice, I would!
Awesome video. Im printing spines from computed tomography and couldnt find how to cut theme easily
Thanks for this vid it really helps out. I have Meshmixer and had totally forgotten how to cut the models since I'm planning on printing a pretty big one on my CR-10.
Lol i had to refresh myself as well. Good luck to you.
Good Job .I tinker with Netfab for simple straight cuts,Will check out Meshmixer for cutting around things.
Liked video! I'm totally new to using meshmixer and am using your videos to learn it. Please do a video on creating your own models from scratch using the basic shapes like a rectangle and putting print and indentions on it.
Sweet, this is exactly what I needed to learn
Glad to hear it!
ty so much, newb here this was very easy and concise!
Happy to help
Still trying to figure this out as I’m watching the video. I just want to thank you for everything you do. I’ve learned so much!!
Glad to help, if you still have questions let me know.
Great tutorial. Just started learning about 3D printing and this helped a ton. Thanks!
Thank you. I have been trying to figure out how do a similar function in Blender with no luck. Using meshmixer was dead easy.
is there a way to slice the object vertically but even on both sides? say you just want the head and mid section. cut horizontally in the mid section but how can you cut vertically on both sides accurately?
Hi, there I have an issue that once I import the stl I can only view the printer cage once clicked print and then when click modify it discards the position changes...
Are you supposed to make the model solid before plane cutting? Asking cause everytime I cut the model it distorts.
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
Now can u do a video about piecing models together to print it in one go instead of gluing later? Like putting an arm from one model onto another?
great info. Is it possible to copy and past objects - example copy a raspberry PI symbol on one side to the other side of a case - the PI symbol has holes and depth for a speaker and would want to copy it and paste on a spot that's is solid. Thanks
Missed it live but watched it loved it thanks for the share
Any chance you could create a tutorial on how to create parts that would allow you to snap these separate pieces together? Like a peg or something like that?
I would like too or how create a lip where one piece can slide over the other for things that come apart like helmet.
Awesome video thanks for all the help
Happy to help!
Wait I have to put my "printer software path" how do I do that??
thank you so much ..really helpful
Great info. have learnt a lot. A tutorial on how to put it all together would be great.
How do you add peggs so it locks into place????
Does anyone know how to get the PRINT BED part of Meshmixer to center on the screen, I keep importing files, it brings the file in like 7 thousand feet away from the Print Bed Diagram, and I have to zoom out to even see the print bed part but everytime I Zoom back in after moving the file to the print bed area, The Print bed area will not center to the middle of the screen. It keeps going off to the left and out of View.
Can you show the opposite now. I purchase an STL file that is non manifold and has like 500 shells and I would like to know how to make it solid
Thats hard because you would have to place the parts next to each other perfectly but if you did manage to do that then there is a feature called make sold which takes all the pieces and makes it one whole.
Ok. Plane cut is easy and OK for architecture. But what about cutting along natural contours, which makes much more sense for organic structures?
I can explain it to you but I would have to make another video on it because its not something I can just type out, I would have to show you. So let me see what I can do.
Thank you! Do you have a video where you go step by step how to make pegs and holes at the exact same height of each other. I can't find a proper one that has all the steps slowly and clear for me to learn as a newbie.
Here you go bud: th-cam.com/video/ega__dzGXqM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video. Easy to understand for noobs. BTW can you cut it in a way that when you assemble them, it will line up in a certain position?
Chris Allones there sure is, watch this: th-cam.com/video/ega__dzGXqM/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to unselect a portion you selected for cutting?
Fantastic tutorial! New sub!
Will these sliced models once done in mesh mixer be at the correct scale in chitubox so I can print on elgoo Mars?
Yes, you export them at the scale you want.
how do i put a shell on bed after cutting??
Where do u get the models from
Thank you so much , helped a lot :)
Glad it helped!
awesome thanks for the info. I see real big things in my future now lol. You do know you can center it and drop it on the table in meshmixer with align right?
Yup, I didn't go into to detail because I have a meshmixer basics that goes over that part.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank you very helpful
Create video! I cant wait to try it
did u use imovie to make ur intro?!?!
Do you know how to inside scale for helmet on meshmixer. Im on mac so the nab app don't work for me. thanx
same as in the video only difference would be that you need to uncheck uniform scaling and enter the dimensions of the helmet for x,y and z manually.
SANTUBE 3D but the scale its for the out side of the model. I’m looking for the inside of the helmet.
@@Frank004 I dont have a video on but uncle jessy does, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/mlvJZw-UV4c/w-d-xo.html
Good Job, Thanks I was wondering how to do that
Thank you
Thanks for this video
Worked NOICE
Great to hear that.
help me how do I measure a mask in meshmixer to fit me>
Sorry for late replyto , start you need to measure your head and then in mesh on the left click on edit transform and input the numbers that you need.
thanks!
Welcome!
thanks
fucking useful,thanks bro,suscribed
lol, your welcome and thanks.

You have to select all the parts (shells) and combine th-cam.com/video/rAqWkN85ZLo/w-d-xo.html
