Preparing for 3D Printing in Blender 2.9 - WINTER WOLF

I suspect the "1000" at the end, is because 3D printer's base unit is millimeters, while Blender's base unit is meters.

This series is to helps us with sculpting.. But grant doesnt even realise how much this video motivates us. Great job Grant 💪🏿💯🔥

As a beginner to sculpting I love this series, 3D Printing is dope [Even If I dont have a 3D printer] Thanks Grant, and continue to make more of these And yes, Ferst

I didn't even know about the Decimate modifier! It's amazing!! Thank you so much for this video! It was super helpful! :D

Thank you for this video and for sculpting ones ! As suggestion, could you make one about how to split a model and add joints for 3d printing ?

This is great. I'm still having some problems calibrating my printer, but hopefully I'll be able to fix it soon.

Grant, not sure if you know the name Verlinden by chance, but he gave me a personal tour of his facility before closing shop and retiring. World renown for his models. He'd be super excited to see something like this. Immediately thought of him as you show off your finished product there. Amazing.

Thank a lot for yours videos, i learn a lot... One more thing you could check is 'face orientation'. I used to figured out why some parts of my object were not sliced.

It doesn't look like you need as much supports as you used. On an FDM printer, the layers build up, so anything like the fur you pointed out would print well. The body should print with no supports needed. The tail might have issues in the beginning, but looks good without supports. The ears would probably need supports, since they are practically parallel to the ground. It all depends on your printer, though. I have ran an overhang test on my Ender 3 and got decent results from 50 degree and less. It's fun to think about modeling with 3D printing in mind. Any slope that is 45 degrees is my friend. I have been really enjoying this series, since it's been easy to follow along. Thanks!!!

This is so cool... im.inspired to sculpt...ty

Thank you for the tutorial Grant :)

awesome tutorial, thankyou

Very nice! 👍👍

Very nice tutorial.

In the add-on section there is a 3d printing add-on. If you click it you'll have a "3d print" tab next to your properties window. In there you can check your angles, check for non uniformity, make your object manifold, and much more. It's quite helpful because with one click it will tell you what's wrong and with one more click will fix it. Also, I would recommend switching to PrusaSlicer even if you don't have a Prusa printer. IMO Cura is literally the worst slicer out there, and the quality of prints it produces is very low compared. It seems trivial but when it comes to generating the gcode, setting up your settings, your supports, etc... Prusa has a much better and easier interface. I can guarantee if you try Prusa once, even as a beginner, you'll notice the difference in print quality. Plus your print times will always be estimated spot on. Side Note: A lot of people will likely get mad at me for putting Cura down and freak out, so for any trolls... Truth is truth and I'm entitled to my opinion just as (you) are yours. So please try to remember that before you bash/troll me for not agreeing with your opinion. And also remember when I don't troll (you) back for not agreeing with (you). Then understand what makes us different. Not judging the community here, just pointing something out.

Good job

nicework
