− | + | Normally I make the entire model invisible () and then make visible ( in the model view point to the part and click the space bar ) only the parts I want to print. Then you need to also select the parts. I do this in the model view where I click on the parts I just made visible, click on the first, control click on the rest, you can see the parts selected i the 3D view. | |

− | + | Now create a fusion of all the parts (). This gives your model a new part the fusion | |
− | |||
− | + | When you have the fusion, the whole thing that will print, you need to get it in stl format to feed your slicer. Select the fusion, and create a mesh ( Mesh Design Workbench -> Meshes -> Create Mesh from Shape -> <Standard> - <OK> ) Again this creates a new part the fusion ( meshed ). | |
− | + | My meshed parts have often had defects that create problems in printing. FreeCad has some tools for fixing them. Run them to be safe: | |

Now select the fusion ( meshed ) and use ( Any Workbench -> File -> Export ...name the file and select stl as the type ) This is the file you need to slice. | Now select the fusion ( meshed ) and use ( Any Workbench -> File -> Export ...name the file and select stl as the type ) This is the file you need to slice. | ||
