Happy to see a tutorial on 3D Printing with Blender. I'm using an Ender 3|Cura, and would like to see if there would be a tutorial on how to fix meshes and create supports directly in Blender. 😁

You should keep the part with the slicer at a minimum, since there is a lot of variant out there and to keep the focus on 3D Printing with Blender.

* @Christian Clavet * A neat way to repair/fix meshes that aren't manifold is to load the stl into Windows 3D Builder.

Click on New Scene. Drag the stl into the window and click on the Tick-marker.

You will be told if there are errors and you can choose to repair. After you save as stl - you can even save on top of the original stl.

Then import into your favourite slicer.

I used to stick parts together in Blender using Booleans,but now I simply export the scene to an stl, and let 3D Builder do the stitching.

Hi Jay AnAm, I have watched many of your tutorials, they are excellent quality and very informative. I cannot however, help feeling that this video is more about promoting Prusa printers!
