Press Save to apply those changes to the selected model(s). As you make changes, you will see the impact of each adjustment as your model reacts and moves on the Build Table. Use the up-down arrows to easily adjust a model or enter numerical values for more exact positioning. The Model Settings Window offers exact numeric rotations, scaling, and offsets.
In this case, you will need to access the Model Settings Window by double-clicking on your model (or by double-clicking on the model name in the Model List).
While these shortcuts are great for quick visual adjustments, you may run across a situation where you need an exact positioning offset or you need to rotate the model about a different axis. Just place the STL file into a folder on your computer, as you’ll import the file in the next step. The instructions vary depending on the CAD software some may require a plugin to export STL files. All of the major CAD packages include functionality to export digital models to the STL file format. Export from CAD: Another popular option for obtaining an STL file is to export this file from the CAD package of your choosing, such as SketchUp or Solidworks. Place the STL file in a folder on your computer, as you’ll import the file in the next step.Ģ. Click “Download This Thing!” then click the “comp_wheel.stl” file to download the STL file. For this example, we will be using blecheimer’s compressor wheel model for this tutorial. There are several popular websites that contain thousands of digital models that have already been optimized for extrusion-based 3D printing. Download from the internet: The first and the simplest method is to download a pre-existing STL file from the web. There are two common methods for obtaining an STL file:ġ.
