| all parts are one object |
Summary: Separate multi-object files into separate parts for easier printing.
I am working on a multi-part model. One of the stl files contains several parts. When the file is imported into Cura, they are seen as a single object. This was a problem because some of the pieces needed to be rotated. Luckily this is easy to fix in Cura. Simply right click on the model and select "split object into parts". |
| model split into 11 objects |
In a matter of seconds, Cura splits the model into multiple parts. Each part can now be repositioned and rotated as needed. Or, you can save each of the parts as a separate stl file by copying the file and deleting the unwanted parts. This is just one of those handy options in Cura that is easy to miss.
I have the opposite problem. I have split an STL file into parts, but after arranging I want to scale ALL the parts to 120 percent. Isn't there some way to select all parts instead of scaling each one separately?
