Re: Combining .STL files

Yeah, I was able to get by the fault, but I'm looking at doing something different after playing around with it. What I want is that the parts that get cut out, needs to be black.

Re: Combining .STL files

The key to doing any of the Boolean functions in Meshmixer is to use the "make solid" function on all parts being used beforehand. So it is actually very simple. Edit>make solid>sharp edge preserve, accuracy to max, resolution around 260, update then accept. Do this on the part to be cut and the pa...

Re: Combining .STL files

The .stl of the logo was found on thingverse. The case can also be found on thingverse, but I have been working with the author of the case for years building bbq controllers. The case probably has its faults, as I for one don't particularly care for it and I am using this as a learning experience, ...

Combining .STL files

I have a customer that went to Georgia Tech and he wanted me to print a case for him using their colors of black and yellow. Well, I told him since I have already printed a case for his brother with the same two colors that I would try to make his case for his BBQ controller better then his brothers...

Re: Look whats under MY tree >:)

If you're really careful, you can peel back the tape and sneak it out at night while everyone is asleep. Just make sure you don't print anything that takes 8 hours+ This sounds like me when I was a kid. My mom hide the Xmas gifts in her closet and I happened to find them. One of my gifts was a Texa...

I had a problem communicating with my printer a couple of times and I found that the power connection for the printer does not get fully pressed in, it will have problems. My printer would just sit there and not do anything when I tried to print.
