  @WolfLink @papalonian yeah, something like this but you might try. MS 3D Builder is out is still around our even good old Meshmixer!

  Alternatively you could try adding a plane and extrusion this downwards on blender, Meshmixer etc

  @CarbonAlpine Amazing model. Did you publish anywhere? I'd like to print for a full size mock up horse I made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  @MissJinx there are a few but some are just rebadged versions of other slicers. Prusa/Orca and Slicer are two I have tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  @MissJinx I've had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.

  Did you try changing the vase mode settings?

  Some models don't work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.

  You might try a different slicer?

  @AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Question] Can You Uncut A STL?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  @AlexanderTheGreat it's old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.

  @RegalPotoo @Wilshire good point. Release agents are used for casting concrete. They look to be oil and water mix so I'm guessing most plastics would be compatible.
  Also has to be a clear path out for the print/concrete.

  @FearTheCron @YourAvgDuckHead According to encyclopedia Britannica, I'd say a fairly reliable source, your out by a factor of 100. https://www.britannica.com/science/chromosome

  Apologies for the pedantry, I couldn't help it.

  @PeleSpirit good luck. I didn't regret it. Been lots of fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need advice about whether to dive in or not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  @PeleSpirit 3D printing is fun but it can be a time sink. Consider how much done you can invest in this. If you want to push on with other things then POD may be best. If you want to have it as a tool in your bag, then buy one for sure.

  One thing I would say about resin printers is they can't be left for long periods and are best cleaned and packed away if you aren't using them.

  @KroninJ I use something like theses. https://www.halfords.ie/motoring/tools/garage-equipment/garage-essentials/rolson-4-piece-pick-and-hook-set-340885.html
  Useful for the small supports and difficult to reach ones.
