  • Meshmixer is handy for cleaning up STL files to print, but that is really only a fraction of what it can do. In this video we take four free STLs from Thingiverse to create a fantasy creature: a griffin. Meshixer works best when using it like virtual 3D clay. At the end I showcase the least attractive 3D model I've ever created.

    A truly great lesson on Meshmixer. I now understand some of what it can do and how to do some of them. Inspiring. Designing is so much better than printing. Printing is the proof of the pudding.

    • @TeachingTech

      Thanks for watching. I love designing things. I think the passion for inventing and designing started with Lego as a child. 3D printing might be the new Lego for future generations.

    Man you just made my day, been trying to clean some stuff inside my model like the throat, tung and eye balls. This tutorial did the job, I've had Mesh mixer for a while but never really got to see the potential it had. Now i can 3D print my models without all that stuff inside it, and the size is smaller too. Thanks so much, Subbed!!

    Instead of messing around with the bits inside the head, just seperate shells on the mesh, move it out of the way, then you can select and delete everything left over in one go

    I am coming from a digital art background and I have been using Poser and Smith Micro products for quite a long time. This tutorial is huge help in getting a figure from Poser into Meshmixer. I am hitting a rough spot if I make the mesh solid. I lose pretty much all the fine detail of the figure. Can you make any recommendations?

    • @TeachingTech
      @TeachingTech  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for watching and I'm glad it has helped. Meshmixer can be quite inconsistent but if I've having troubles I will play with the sliders for that process even though it can take forever to re-process.

    Michael, if I created a vase and then wanted to add a decorative pattern around the vase, could I merge them with this program?
    Is that the best option?

    • @TeachingTech
      @TeachingTech  6 лет назад

      Hi Nick, What program did you design the vase in? I would suggest that CAD software like Onshape would be better for what you are mentioning. My custom jewellery series has examples of making patterns around an onject, specifically part 2.

    What if neither Boolean Union nor Combine work? I have a couple small objects I want to attach to a larger object. When I try Boolean Union the smaller objects get all distorted. When I try Combine the entire thing ends up looking like melted playdough. So, how do you merge something together without it destroying the entire thing?

    Hallo,
    ich habe schon viele Beiträge zum 3D Drucken von Dir angesehen. Und danke Dir klappt das auch schon recht gut mit meinen Modellen. Meshmixer möchte ich unbedingt näher kennenlernen. Meine fehlenden englisch Kenntnisse bremsen mich immer wieder aus. Dein Beitrag in englisch hat mir jedoch geholfen.
    Hast Du auch Meshmixer-Beiträge in deutsch veröffentlicht?
    Bei mir klemmt es immer noch in den Basics.
    - Mein Drucker wird nicht abgespeichert und die Menüs sind ein Irrgarten.
    Vielleicht wäre das mal etwas für den deutschen Markt für Dich.
    Danke und weiter so
    Gruß Bernd
