https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1t9bdku/2step_converter_formerly_stl2stp_free_opensource/ It does work remarkably well in cleaning up the mesh into something much easier to work with and infinitely easier to edit than in FreeCAD which was the only other workflow I knew before.
Hi everyone, I just opened a plasticity after a long time I believe I have to re-watch the basic course once again. I was trying to make this thing in plasticity but unfortunately I somehow modeled it (70 percent) in 3ds max but what I was trying to figure out how do you guys would approach this.?
It's starting to come together though. I love it when you turn that proverbial corner and it goes from scratching my head to figuring out how to make it to actually getting in that groove of just connected the dots in my mind and combining the sheets into solids and moving into fillets/chamfers.
I don't have a key recorder when making screen recordings because I used the Nvidia one. But after doing the offset, I just switch to point mode and I can drag them around.
After I have updated for 26.1, I cannot export the solid data into STEP files showing an error code 10005, even for some data which was possible in the past to export into STEP . Does anyone know about the reasons and how I can fix the problem?
I'm not sure. Maybe it's a Mac OS thing as I'm on Windows 11. But I loaded into Plasticity and exported with default settings and brought into FreeCAD to inspect and couldn't find anything wrong with it.
I tried one way back when I first got Plasticity and it kind of kicked my ass. So I wanted to see with all that I've learned since how I'd get on with no training wheels and see where I am. Not too bad for a few hours on the weekend. Plan to bring it into Blender for proper renders and there is still some piping--fillets I need to do for it to be complete.
