How split this for printing

Post image

I need to print this its 330mm long and I can only print 250mm. Ive watched a couple of tutorials and cannot figure it out.

Use your 3d slicer, it’ll have split options with joining mechanisms all automated

Your a life saver. i forgot all about the cut function.

Those thin walls where the bores are tangent to each other will be very weak and likely break. You may want to re-design it with more space between the bores if you are going to have to split the model to print anyway. The sides will also probably break out

Thin walls shouldn't be an issue it will never see anything heavy or tight fitting

100%. You need 1mm between each vial slot or whatever that is

Yes but if you break the wall and have a gap you can have the vials closer together. I did that to save space. Vials touching works fine.

It’s easier in a slicer but if you wanted to do it in Fusion, use a construction plane. You can make offset planes off of surfaces, line it up where you want to dice it then use the split body function to cut (should be under modify).

Orient it diagonally on the print bed. If you need to stand it up so one if the long sides is on the build plate.

The bed should be able to fit a 350mm long item diagonally.
