3D Print Toolbox

When it comes to 3D printing, there is no size fits all. By far the common mistake when preparing to process is to forget to assign an appropriate wall thickness for the model.

3D Print Toolbox is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you assign the correct wall thickness by cutting it into layers and hence, make sure your 3D model is printed as accurate as possible.

The application comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. You can get started by loading your file for preview and the tool only support the STL file format. If you have the model in other file formats you need to convert it first.

You will be happy to learn that the tool allows you to inspect the model from several angles, namely Default, Top, Front and you can also zoom in or out. Since you can switch between fill, transparent and triangles, you can spot potential problems with the model.

A common issue with 3D printing is that sometimes printing material can get trapped in the interior of your model. Not only does the program let you create flawless hollow models, but you can also add the so-called escape holes to avoid the aforementioned issues.

A further noteworthy feature is that you can prepare the model by slicing into layers according to settings of 3D printer area. Moreover, the app can display the horizontal for each slice. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can create a G-code as a geometric template to add more processing instructions.

Granted, creating a 3D printed model can be somewhat intimidating at first. Nevertheless, thanks to applications such as 3D Print Toolbox, you can make sure to account for all the critical parameters and thus, obtain the best possible outcome.
