AI Help

I recommend using computer-aided design (CAD) software such as Tinkercad, Fusion 360, or SolidWorks to make precise adjustments to your 3D model files. These programs offer more flexibility and control compared to mobile apps. You can also try reaching out to 3D printing communities or forums for assistance with resizing your files. Let me know if you need help with any specific questions or issues related to 3D printing!

I just got into bed 😩

#

So your trying to resize the actual .STL model itself... Like specific parts of it and not the entire model as a whole right?

silk tulip Mar 21, 2025, 2:44 AM

#

Yes just specific parts not the whole thing

#

But I can wait till tomorrow or whatever. I don’t wanna keep ya if you just got into bed, but I’ll send reference pictures here

#

Very noob with it all

#

Not afraid to admit it 😂🤡

#

Yep! Thank you!

i say tinkercad if its super basic stuff u can cut em in half and divide parts in tinkercad. duplicate the parts as you go.
alternatively u can cut them in slicer as well and scale up the parts you sliced.

Does that all run fine on old windows? I thought to print stuff I needed an up to date computer which I don’t have

#

I think I’m still on 8…. 😅😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

The one I tried using before was free, but I had to pay for membership to import files not just create. And I don’t have a printer; I buy my prints like a peasant

tawdry mason Mar 21, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

silk tulip Mar 21, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

It’s sad times. I enjoy getting all the stuff printed that I have; just wish I could do it myself 😂🤡

full tulip Mar 21, 2025, 4:54 AM

#

tawdry mason Mar 21, 2025, 4:57 AM

#

That's the quality I got with stock enders

silk tulip Mar 21, 2025, 4:57 AM

#

….. I’d take utter dog shit over nothing…..

full tulip Mar 21, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

ive only seen 2 ender 3s in my entire life that had acceptable quality. one was extremely heavily modded. and the other i never saw the photo of it.

tawdry mason Mar 21, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

You just need to know how to tune them properly

full tulip Mar 21, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

theres no tuning it

#

ur hardware limited not software limited

tawdry mason Mar 21, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

Zoom in on that light I sent you can't even see layer lines

#

And that's from a basic stock ender 3

silk tulip Mar 21, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

The white was Ender print

tawdry mason Mar 21, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

Same one you see in background

#

That looks like supports

#

Can't blame a Ender for bad support removal

#

Sand them down a little with sand paper

silk tulip Mar 21, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

Idk it looked like sloppy print to me more than supports. But again im a noob at this so what do I know 🤷‍♂️😂🤡

#

The new one though, immaculate.
