I can't think of a video I've watched lately that deserves a thumbs-up as much as this one. Concise, useful, close-ups of the drop-down menus so we can see what is happening, no mucking about. You should win some sort of award.
The day I found your channel was the day I was introduced to meshmixer(about 3 yrs ago), still use it today & agree of how versatile it is. Great tutorial Angus.
Thanks again Angus I'm sure your videos are much appreciated by everyone in the 3d printer community. I have been struggling a lot with Blender, after seeing this I'll give Meshmixer a go.
I've always loved your Tips, Tricks and Tutorial vids Angus, they're fantastic. And yes, I too would love to see more Meshmixer tutorials.
Hope you're finally getting settled into your new place.
+Spike Kent thanks mate! Yep slowly things are starting to come together
I'm planning to swim from Brazil to Australia just to shake your hand! Your channel is the best!
Full mesh mixer tutorial would be fantastic. Thanks for all your content, love your work mate. Hope you have good aircon in your new place!
It’s a lifesaver. I use it every day. Especially your video on Boolean difference to subtract shapes from others was very useful to create pegs to reassemble the parts post print.
Another awesome video from Maker's Muse! Thanks for all the info you share and kudos to your clear, concise and friendly style of teaching!
Yes more Meshmixer videos!!. No. 6 would be "Make Solid" solves a lot of issues with bad meshes. No. 7 would be "hollow" very useful for turning any mesh hollow inside to use for lamps or to add parts internally
Yes please do more tutorials ! I have used your other tutorials and find them rather handy
Great tutorial Angus, keep them coming!
Yes please, more meshmixer tutorials, great work, thank you
Thank you for suggesting this software to those new to 3D printing. I don't know what i would do without it.
FINALLY a good tutorial. clear, detailed, explains well and very, VERY thoughtful. thank you for making good videos, Its hard to find nice videos about meshmixer. liked and sub!
Great tutorial Angus! Thank you for the tips and overview.
Angus I would like vey much to learn to use Mesh and to watch your tutorials would be an added pleasure.
So I want to place my vote for more of your tutorials on this subject if I may.
Thank you and I truely hope yo see futher tips & tricks from you.
Bob
ditto!
+Bob Young thanks! Received loud and clear.
I have it but never used it before. Watching this video shows some tools that I know I will need to use, especially the plane cut tool.
It seems like Meshmixer is super powerful, but the interface is so convoluted that I have a hard time learning how to use it. I love your tutorials on it and hope you post more soon!
I didn't know anything about this until now. I am with the rest on learning more about it.
Thanks Angus btw killer shirt.
Got MM after watching one of your older vids...love it. help fixed a couple of problems i had with files.
This is great! With the Moai, I really need to learn more about Meshmixer so would love to see more tutorials!
More videos on MeshMixer - I'm new to 3D printing and your videos are such a help (especially MeshMixer and other free tools)
YES, I too would love to see more Meshmixer tutorials
I would love to see you do an in depth series on Mesh Mixer. Especially interesting would be topic on how to take various models and combine them into new models.
Good tips! I use the slicing a lot. Also, the scaling is cool since you can enter an overall size along one axis and it can proportionally scale.
I like MeshMixer but it's interface is frustrating, with many features effectively hidden by strange interaction modes. For instance, using arrow keys to change snapping increments as you mention. That's crazy!
The big ones for me are alignment, slicing, and supports, the latter of which is its killer feature IMO.
Happy printing!
Doing more Meshmixer videos is a great idea Angus! I have used it before (because you have recommended it before), but I have trouble using certain features of the tool, and would like to see videos on them!
Oh wow. I needed to Frankenstein two models together a week ago. I downloaded Blender to try to do it and pretty quickly gave up. This looks super easy. Thanks!
Thanks Angus, happy to watch a bunch of these. Cheers, JAYTEE
I did not know you can isolate a plane cut. Ty very very much. Opens up a whole lot for me. Appreciate it.
Definitely more tutorials on mesh mixer would be highly appreciated Angus
I don't know what rock I have been hiding under but this is game changing for me. I've been doing the plane cuts in fusion360 directly until now and exporting separate files. Guess that's still useful in some circumstances but either way, amazing thanks Angus!
Angus should definitely have a T-Shirt that just has the word 'Powerful' on it
take a shot, every time.
Unfortunately I'm not Australian, I don't think I could handle it
Yes please, more of these.
Great video, also that stingray shirt is fantastic!
Cheers bud just what I needed to get started
Your commentary was very easy to understand and very nice.
Thank you very much ありがとう
Yes! More meshmixer!
Another great video Thanks Angus
Yes! More Meshmixer!
YES! Can you show us how to use the stamp?
If it does what I think, it'd be really cool for postprocessing models. Keep up the good work!
Yesss, let there be more!
3d builder and meshmixer are two lovers!
I had no idea how to use the shell separation with plane cut -- I was creating multiple copies and deleting alternating halves. Thanks for saving my forehead the pain of being repeatedly mashed into my desk!
Thank u for all ur help.
Great Tips! Keep them coming :)
That's really good stuff, thanks Angus :)
Figured it out no probs great stuff ya doing thanks for showing us. If it wasn't for people like u i would probably have to go to Tafe or uni so again thanks heaps.
I have mainly used Meshmixer to make voronoi (dual edges pattern) stuff and might do a video tutorial about design-slice-print a project like this. I wish I knew how to scuplt in meshmixer like people sculpt in Zbrush, but the stuff you can do in this software for free is really amazing.
Cool video, and I love the shirt.
It would be great to have a set of videos on using the align tools and pivots. You do great videos.
Absolutely. I am trying to import mathematical shapes from Mathematica and am having a hard time using the sculpt tool. I would like to see videos about using the sculpt tool and making sure the mesh has no awkward boundries afterwards.
I would love to see a bit about taking an OBJ figure (like an export from Poser) and how you might prep that in MM for 3D printing.
Your banging out the videos Angus, good job
It says a lot about Meshmixer's wide range of tools that "hollow" doesn't even make the top 5. I only started using it recently, but thumbs up for teaching me the isolate thing alone.
Please do more Meshmixer tutorials, I would find them useful!
Thanks! great video, I'm using it to splice 3d prints together. One Suggestion though, you may want to add timestamps when you're going through lists, that way I can hop to the info that I am needing quickly.
great video thanks Angus
This is a great video!
so nice thanks
great work guy
Thank you so much.
How have I never heard of this?? Thanks angus.
Yes Angus! I have been trying to use Meshmixer recently to fix some rocket league files for printing to give my cousin, but cannot seem to get it right. Would love to see some more in depth tutorials with this! 👌
I think with all the new people printing these days I think you should do an updated video on meshmixer. I'm still trying to learn it when I can
nice video, thanks!
I like the music at the end. (Rest of video too of course!)
Thanks Angus!
Great stuff! I've just discovered meshmixer...so far I've only used it for adding supports so I can print better on my new Sparkmaker ;-) The software for it isn't particularly good at doing that....I'm currently in the process of hunting for some tutorials that will give me all I need to know to build my own models! Always love your vids Angus, you should be getting paid for this...!
Ridiculous software! Love it - thanks for the video!
Meshmixer is really an awesome tool! A must have if you are into 3d printing. Also i think that some of the features have been integrated in Fusion 360 (in the mesh environment) so maybe in some time it will be fully integrated in Fusion?
Cool video, would you please make a detail video on repair feature of mesh mixer
Good work
Me too please more tips and tricks from the software and tricks to optimizing fines for printing too would be great.
Splitting models in two halves is lifesaving in many cases.
Very informative, and thank you for speaking clearly, with a good microphone, I have to rely on Closed Captions to be able to know what people are saying on RUclips, and people that mumble or have background music make the closed captions nearly useless. Yours are always very good and I really appreciater it/
Thank you! I used to mumble badly so happy to hear the captions understand me :)
really powerful
Nice video - I use the built in Windows 10 3d builder program to do all of the things in your Meshmixer video. It is included with Windows 10 and doesn't require downloading and installing 3rd party software.
So glad I found this through your recommendation last week. What I want to know is how to reduce polys in a overly detailed model. Thanks!
For sure, I think a further top 5... or more video is due to cover those more advanced uses.
To reduce polygons, select the model in the object browser, then hit CTRL/CMD+A to select all the triangles. Then there are two options that will do what you want in different ways. Edit->reduce will reduce the polygons just by trying to subtract them where it can. Edit->remesh with a negative density will also work to reduce polygons.
Thanks (again) Angus. I've been using Meshmixer since one of your tutorials on it about a year ago (when I built my HyperCube). And like David Adams, I've spent some frustrating hours with the Guess and Check technique of learning new software (we used to call it Trial and Error....). Who reads the Instructions anyway??? :)
I particularly like the way it imports into my custom build space (under Preferences-Printer-Edit if your printer isn't already in the list) and that I can set Fusion360 "controls" (so I don't need to learn another set of mouse controls).
Could you add the best way to use MM's powerful Support options into a coming video? They seem so much easier to remove than the alternatives in slicers.
Keep the great tutorials coming!
Hi could you show how to colour or add texture in Meshmixer plz? Your tutorials are very helpful.
Angus, thanks for all the vids and tips. Have you ever tried the support generation within MeshMixer? I just stumbled on a vid talking about this today. Didn't even know it was possible. Looks pretty nice for us Cura users who don't have custom supports.
Hey, thanks for the helpful video! I have a Prusa MK3s and Prusa sent me to check out MeshMixer in a blog post, and I found this. Super helpful. Subscribed.
Unfortunately I can do all of this and a LOT more in zbrush. However. That being said zbrush is very costly and very complicated. So to see this being free is great ! Lots of very useful info thanks ! :)
More please !
tKS Very good explain! =)
yes i gootta learn this better
I have used meshmixer a few times for repairs but ultimately don't really understand the program. I would love to see a set of tutorials on it.
this was great not many good tutorials/ tool overviews on the software
You absolute star stuck for a week on separating parts not anymore, cheers Angus 👍😁
Angus, I have a question for you with mesh mixer. I use a UAV for generating cad based designs. Based on your demonstration, I should be able to remove (possibly painstakingly) remove all vertical features, trees, buildings, utility poles, etc from the mesh in my processed data to provide a more accurate grade line model?
Thanks Angus, I have been poking at Meshmixer for a while. Please do a follow up!
9:36 the 'every other triangle is missing/flipped' error is often from a quad-based mesh being treated as triangles. triangulating the mesh [cli assimp etc can do it] sometimes fixes this sort of prob
Hi Angus, Meshmixer, Meshlab,etc great tools, but what I really search for is a tool to "shrinkwrap" a complex multipart model.
So I can print a simplified outside mesh...
+Duco Maritiem the make solid tool does this. It's not perfect though.
bring the tips on Angus, Thanks!
I'd like to see a video on how to repair complex models that were not designed for printing (like game meshes).
Nice vid do you know how to make piping and cables at all
1. Import lots of different formats
2. easily scale
3. plane cut
4. separate or combine shells
5. mesh repair
Hi Angus, please could you show how to use Meshmixer to increase triangulation (improve the mesh ). Thanks
thanks and I have heard that meshmixer smooths curve transitions in a esh but I have no clue if it does or how to do it if it does, basically what I mean is for instance I made a simple cylinder in 3dsmax, even if I set edges to a ridiculous 200 and mesh smooth to 4, when I print I do not get a nice smooth curve, the curve is made up of small flat polys.
is there a filter or tool in meshmixer that can smooth those out so there are no flat polys in a curve? without using that smoothing brush that affects every poly around it and makes the cylinder look like a molten pancake!
hey to you..and thanks for good videoes... i have a question :) when i use scoulp in mesh mixer it gets wavy - bumpy, how do i avoid it ?? do you know how to make wood texture to my print ? I try to use the stensils to make somethink, but cant import stensils so it works, is there any trick there ??
