I would use open scad. It would be a few steps… I will give it a try. Links to models?

@Adrian_Ciubotariu did you use the Combine option followed by brush select and then delete ? I haven’t had time to look at it yesterday, but I think instead of ^, we should use the boolean functions and split the Vader in 2.

@Adrian_Ciubotariu are you using one of the MakerBots ?

@Anuj_Deshpande yep. Combine then brush to remove. Since tutorials are scarce… This is the best I could do.

Is the question related to what printer I use? It’s a DIY.
