See my latest video to help you setup your 3d printer studio: ruclips.net/video/7FyWJUb-v6o/видео.html Notes: I've updated this video description and subtitles to help understanding the complex topic of 3D printing in this video. I have multiple videos on 3D printing concepts that would make this part simple. Please use the chapters and subtitles to understanding the order of this course. Any any questions to clarify, please ask kindly in the comments. It helps others when these are clearly written vs critical comments which don't help questions other may have. I wish you the best in your 3D printing journey!
Hi there, I would work in accurate model dimensions with a set scale for print. If you are doing scale model, then use that specific setting. However, understand particular tolerances beforehand, as some thicknesses will need enlarging for successful print. This requires your working model and print model. If thinks like walls or posts, etc. Need to be enlarged, you can make those as standard components to add to models. Same for standard supports.
If I cut the top off a rectangle lets say so I have a rectangle with 4 sides and a bottom and then I create an STL and slice it the rectangle comes out filled. How do I prevent it from filling in a shape that I want empty?
The 3D software is pretty good at solid objects. When the closed surface is defined, it puts infill inside. So no need even to double the shell. You can control thickness of outer walls in the software like repetier or similar with the flow % multiplier. There is also an infill % from 0 to 100%, with zero being empty.
@@Fronklyn. If you're looking at ease, then I would say Prusa. It has great resources with options for prebuilt and diy. Alternately There are very cheap diy ones from China. You can learn a lot, but some can have big issues. What is your priority? Cost, ease, certain materials and size are other factors.

Could you make a tutorial on how to create and print 3d spheres made in sketchup? on speres the thicknes is zero
Ah, ok, will do a new one for that
Check here for video on making Spheres for 3D printing in SketchUp:

@@MotionFORM Thank you* really appreciate it!
@@jaakkoautio7465 you're welcome, please share my channel with your network and will put more tutorials soon.👌
Wow, dude, is this Win Vista with the old look settings?
Actually it is not! Windows 7/8.
@@MotionFORM Interesting.
Thanks! Is there a reason for us not working in millimeters or centimeters directly in sketchup, instead of needing to scale it later?

Are we still able to select a 3d printing theme? So everything is already scaled for the size of a build plate? That's how it used to be 5 years ago
There are a few themes, but Its best to create your own matching your unique printer.
Is it going to be nothing inside?

@@MotionFORM Thanks
Are you new to 3D Printing? If so, I'd love to know your questions about the craft and the new tech.
whats the best printer for a starter

$120 a freaking year? WTF! It should be $120 period!
