Conversation-specific knowledge extracted from the 3d print metal model discussion.

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXT: I have a large inventor model made of sheet metal that I am wanting to 3d print. How would I go about getting this to print after scaling it down. Orca is ignoring things that are to small or thin. I dont care how detailed these look I just want to print it

  1. --
  2. Use *one* of these tricks:
  3. Open the IPT or derived assembly.
  4. Convert thin sheet metal to solid faces (Make Part / Derive).
  5. Use Thicken on all faces.
  6. Give them something chunky like 1.0–2.0 mm thickness.
  7. This makes them survive scaling and slicing.
  8. Make a Derived Part from your full assembly.
