Blender for 3D Printing - Intro to Pro Techniques (103)

Explore box modeling with a subdivision surface modifier to shape curvy 3d forms and print a cute elephant.

Learn advanced box modeling in blender to create a cute elephant toy for 3d printing, using subdivision surface, loop cuts, materials, and the auto mirror addon for symmetrical geometry.

Turn a cube into an elephant using box modeling with extrude and inset tools, while using mesh analysis to manage overhangs and apply the 45-degree rule for 3d printing.

Use the 3-D cursor to place eyeballs as a mesh sphere, mirror them, parent to the elephant, and set materials for black pupils and white tusks for 3-D printing.

Learn to prep a 3d printed elephant by fixing overhangs at 45 degrees, removing intersecting faces, and using the 3d printing toolbox to produce a watertight export.

Transform a cube into a cute 3d printed elephant, then design more animals and share them using the hashtags print that thing or 3d blog zoo.

Learn to model toy cars that roll off the print bed using box modeling and modifiers, and apply tolerances to create gaps that let the wheels turn.

Design a 3d printable toy car using blender, without raft or supports, focusing on tolerance, boolean operations, and multi-part prints, with a beveled hood and trunk built via vertex groups.

Add wheels to a Blender 3D printed car using a cylinder, align with mirror and solidify modifiers, create an axle, and apply tolerances for smooth rolling.

Master shading and body work in Blender by coloring the car, adjusting metalness and roughness, and modeling windows with inset, extrude, and boolean techniques for a printable result.

Add detailed features to a Blender car model for 3D printing by using booleans to carve headlights, grill, bumper, then refine with mirror and bevel modifiers.

Master a Blender-driven 3d printing workflow: prepare the model, fix booleans and artifacts, and export for slicing to produce a side-printed ready file.

Design and customize a 3d car toy you can print, and share it with the print that thing hashtag, while seeking help in the blender for 3d printing Facebook group.

Slice large models into parts for easier 3D printing in Blender 2.8, enabling prints in sections and becoming a 3D print designer.

Explore slice basics with the Bool tool in Blender to cut a cube with a sphere, producing two parts that fit snugly for 3D printing, using the ctrl+numPad backslash shortcut.

Learn to slice large designs into multiple parts for 3D printing using Blender, via the array modifiers and boolean slice to keep parts within your 3D printer's build volume.

Export slices for 3D printing by preparing and linking Blender parts with boolean modifiers, parenting in collections, and using simplified 3D to slice and export multi-part designs.

Duplicate the collection, apply modifiers, and separate each piece in edit mode to export them individually into a pieces folder, then import into a slicer for independent or combined printing.

Explore slicing techniques for large 3d prints, including multicolor projects and scaling models into multiple pieces, exemplified by a dog armor design, and share your sliced creations for feedback.
