As someone working in 3D printing, I can tell you that those tutorials are wrong, and making a hole inside a mesh to make it 'empty' inside is only going to create troubles.īasically, to 3D print, your STL file goes through a program called a 'slicer', which will analyse and slice the mesh in layers before sending it to the printer for the actual printing layer by layer. ![]()
