Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » HMI

I couldn't get chitubox to add supports to the handles on this chest so I got in some more Meshmixer practice. I like it's supports, could be worth adding to your toolbox.

I think I have one of the most complex support structures needed in a print. I have tried Meshmixer, auto-support generation, and my own supports and a combination of all. Trying to get the hair, the knives, and the cape/dress to all come out at .28mm scale. Here is the model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2239631 Any suggestions?

That time of the week again. this video is aimed at new users. showing how to prepare your models for printing. this video shows how to check and repair a model and how to hollow and add supports and vent holes. it shows the photon slicer software and meshmixer and 3d builder all the software is free. hope this helps new users.

Expert for point cloud, surface to volume needed.

I am having a hard time converting a high-detail data set, 16 million points.
So right now I am trying to convert in Meshlab.
Going to Filters -> point set -> compute normals, then I go to Filter -> Reconstruction/Remesh -> Screened Poission Surface Reconstruction

It works to the point, that i have the points converted to a surface mesh. But with this 2D, super flat, surface mesh I am not able to convert it to a solid in meshmixer for example.
It ends up with a lot of wrong volumes, spikes, and general computation error.

a) Any other routine, from point cloud to full volume body, nicely triangular mesh?
b) How to convert the surface to volume / fill up the empty parts on the bottom.

Blender crashes, couldn't find the make volume button in meshlab, meshmixer shows some wrongly flipped normals, can't solidify it properly.

Any input highly appreciated.

Hey Folks,

Got a couple of more general questions I reckon y'all may be able to help with.

I'm an Engineer, so all my experience designing stuff has been using tools like Fusion360 to do precisely dimensioned and fairly regular parts. I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how to go about taking, for example, a Green Lantern (the actual light, not the character) model from Thingiverse, and trying to mod it to turn it into a little necklace charm for my wife. (Add a little loop at the top that's meaty enough to do the job, maybe tweak some of the curves, that sort of thing)

In my current workflow for stuff I design, I use Meshmixer, but only for hollowing and venting. I've had a look at meshmixer's mesh editing tools, and have only managed to destroy perfectly good models, I've never managed to actually make something nice.

Could anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial/starting point for someone who's never worked with manipulating meshes before?

Second question, is there anyone Sydney-based who does casting and would be willing to talk about casting a little figurine as a gift for a mate? It's the mascot of a game he made, it's done quite well and I was looking at getting him a gift made. I've been playing around with prints in resin, but I don't have any gear to do casting myself, and I'd like to look at getting it done in either Stirling Silver, or maybe 18K gold. PM me and we can chat, I can send through some of the STLs I've pulled from the game.

Cheers in advance folks!

Hi guys, I need your help. What is the reason for this disaster? It does it on exactly the same layers every time. Can it be from a wrong way to create holes and pipes in Fusion360? There are no show of failures in Meshmixer, and STL files is also okay. Has any one knowledge how to avoid this?

Hi there!! Thank you for welcoming me here! I have a new photon printer and after 3-4 days i have random issues. Im a bit frustrated so im looking forward for some advise..
First of all some of my prints came totally deformed on the side of the supports
As you can see, the good half and the bad half..
Another issue is that some parts that are supossed to be flat, are usually not, especially if i cut them with meshmixer to glue them later...
Thank you very much guys!

Hey guys, I know there are some pretty sick 3D designers in this group and I was after some advice.
My friends recently got engaged and I wanted to print them a pendant each, but I thought if I could somehow incorporate a lithophane into the internal walls of the pendant that would be really cool... any thoughts of how I might go about this? (I have a decent amount of experience with fusion360, as well as a little with meshmixer)
TIA

The first attempt at printing uCT scanned insect. Stack processing and done in Fiji, mesh cleaned in meshlab, hollowed in meshmixer, supports generated in b9create. Monocure clear. Primed and spray-painted black.

New problem time!

I'm printing a file for a friend, a dwarf, and am getting an error when I try. The shield isn't printing. When I tried to use supports in Meshmixer, I got an error saying that a Non-Manifold Object was in the print. The shield shows up as a different color in Meshmixer as well, so I'm pretty certain it's connected.

Furthermore, Chitubox has the shield darkened out, which I'm now assuming means there's an issue with it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
