Re: Line drawing to a 3D print

Re: Line drawing to a 3D print

That is a rather spectacular bracelet. Yes, I have made some inserts for a couple of old light fittings. (Morris 8 side lights). I made them in tinkercad. However I am unable to make my tree in that programme. (Other smarter people may be able to). My original drawing was made in Xara and saved as a...

Re: Line drawing to a 3D print

Thank you Polygon, have loaded the printer with gcode, .stl..obj. The printer does not accept the .stl - it will load the .obj but then ignores it. (These were all extentions when trying to print the bracelet). Starting to think the Cura software may be the problem. Not using a mac so the Cheetah wo...

Re: Line drawing to a 3D print

Thanks bryn, I have made a line drawing of a tree trunk (hope it came through on earlier post). I wish to make a 3d print of this drawing. My printer is a Cocoon Create with a 200 x 200 x 200 capacity. The software is Cura 18.03. I normally make my models in Tinkercad, save as gcode and open in Cura...

Re: Line drawing to a 3D print

Hi tylerdurden and Polygon, thanks for the replies, tried the paths bit, no go! Went to instuctables and found a conversion - works well to the point of loading as an .stl but will not print.

Line drawing to a 3D print

Hi all, OK I'm new to this. I have made a simple line drawing of a tree trunk. Saved as .svg, imported to Tinkercad and am not getting the result I want. All the open spaces are filled in. When I type a name in a script font and save the same way, Tinkercad displays it perfectly. If I could post som...
