I have this model and I want to print it with a felix 2.0 3d printer. I don’t know if all the details can be printed and I would like to know if there is a way to preview the print. It would be a great help if someone can help me with this1
The absolute minimum detail size a FDM printer can reproduce is the size of its nozzle (usually around 0.5mm), while for details to look good, they should be at least 4 or 5 times larger than the nozzle (about 2mm). Now, assuming you’re not going to print this at full scale, the columns and finer details likely won’t print.
You can preview your ready-to-print *.gcode file at http://gcode.ws and look though the layers. Cura also has an excellent viewer built-in.
I’d suggest breaking it up into sections and printing them individually at a larger scale. I suppose it depends how big you want it.
It would likely be printable on a SLA machine, but they’re not as common and more expensive than FFF / FDM machines. But if you really want it at a specific size it may be an option you don’t mind paying for.
@Thomas_Sanladerer @Tim_Rastall @Jarred_Baines Thank you for your help, I found and edited another model and it is working now.
