Comment on I have a question in regards to 3d modeling for a filament slicer addon to my hotend

I’m a bit confused by the wording of this post? Is the problem that you have two .stl files that you want to edit and munge together into a new object? If that’s the case, then as @AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world you can import them both into openscad, subtract what you don’t need or intersect what you do and place them into a new part for export. You can also do this in prusa slic3r if openscad is being buggy which it sometimes is with stl imports, but it’s a massive pain in the arse

So the filament cutter was remixed from this:
https://www.printables.com/model/755931-microswiss-direct-drive-mmu-filament-cutter
The link to it is here:

The first link I sent you is someone who has combined another microswiss ng hotend with the filament cutter base, and since microswiss gave me the step file for the ender 3 version, I was wondering if this was an absolute undertaking, or if it’s not as complicated as I think
If you’d like to take a look at the microswiss step file DM me and I’ll send it
