This post will cover what I’ve learned through failed and successful prints, while trying to achieve the holy grail of prints that work every time (60% of the time). I’ve recently taken the plunge into 3D printing with DLP resin using an Anycubic Photon. This is through trial and error, and spending way too much time on Facebook groups, reddit and every blog I can read.

Whether you own your own 3D printer, or use online services such as ShapeWays, this 3+-hour training will help you join in this exciting new maker era! About Dolf Veenvlietĭolf Veenvliet is a Dutch artist who has been exploring 3D printing for sculpture design for many years. You will also find printable models to experiment with yourself. There are extensive chapters introducing Blender modeling for new users, and then going on to cover everything you need to know to create efficient, high-quality 3D prints – including color, wall thickness, and overhang problems. This training is for everyone who is into 3D printing, beginners and professionals alike.

However, with Blender version 2.67 this now is even more accessible and powerful, thanks to the 3D Printing Toolbox and real-time Mesh Analysis features. Blender has supported 3D printing modeling and file formats since 2002.
