How to slice and cut stl files for 3D Printing - 3DP 101
0There comes a time when you want to print larger objects on your 3D Printer than your print bed allows. Well, in this 3D Printing 101 we will show you how using 3 awesome methods to achieve just this!
NOTE: 'slice' has two meanings! I am 'slicing' large .stl files into sections, but then you transfer these to your 'slicer' which will convert them to the many layers used for 3D Printing.
I know it's confusing - and the two share many similarities. It confused me for a very long time!
