Both conditions can be fulfilled using Blender. The key to creating printable models is making sure they contain no errors which could impede the printing process and being able to export them as STL (*.stl) files. More specifically, it can be used to design models meant to be 3D printed, as you can’t 3D print directly from Blender. Yes, Blender can be used for 3D printing. However, some 3D printer software or slicing tool can fix this issue instantly.Can You Use Blender to Make 3D Prints & STL Files? Otherwise it will not print and create holes.
Note: I had to do an extra step in Blender to invert some of the faces outwards so that my 3D printer recognised the faces. Export both your QR Code and platform box together as STL file. You will see the QR Code is extruded, because it is dark you can can the diffuser color to make it easier to see. While is selected, click on 'Edit Mode' and choose 'Face Select' (as shown in 5th image). Convert the curve into mesh by click on 'Mesh from curve/meta/surf/text' under the same 'Object' menu or use 'Alt' + 'C'. Join all the selected curves into one by click on 'Join' under 'Object' menu at the bottom (See third picture)ĥ. You will see that all objects are selected.Ĥ.
You can select 'Curve.001' at the layer panel, then hold control key and highlight the entire QR code in your 3D panel window. The plane should be called 'Curve' (as seen in the picture)ģ. You will notice there is a flat white plane across your QR code, we don't need this so delete that plane or hide it.
You don't need to deal with the exact size yet as you can do the final sizing in your 3D printer software. All of the objects are 'Curves' not mesh. After you import, the object appears to be very small so scale it to a workable size. If you cannot see the SVG file import, download the latest version of Blender.Ģ. Open your 3D Blender software and import that QR Code SVG (as shown in the first image). By now you would have saved your SVG file in your computer.
