Now when you slice, you will see that it will only print the top 100mm of the part now. This will drop 200mm of that model below the build platform.
This way the printer will print just the first 200mm of the part.Īfter that print is done, double click on the 300mm tall model and decrease your Z-axis offset by 200mm (so if it was 0mm previously, make it -200mm now). Import the entire 300mm model, click 'edit process settings', Advanced tab, and enable the 'Stop printing at height' option with a max height of 200mm. For example, if you had a statue that was 300mm tall, but your build volume was only 200mm tall, you could print it like this: You can also do things in S3D like dropping part of the model below the build table (z=0 plane) so that it won't be printed. Usually, people break up the models in their CAD package, since many times you want a very particular break line to avoid critical features.
