I used MoI to make the mirror image of an existing spool holder .stl file.
Recall using .obj intermediary. (?)
The only difficulty was the saved left hand .stl export was about 1/10th the correct size.
Made a quick up scale in Prusa Slicer.
But should have done something different about the size at some step...?
Need to clarify the proper process...

Hi Elang,

re:
> This is really cool! What condition for a model in MoI that is 3D printable? Do all parts need to be solid?

Usually yes they will be expecting that the model is a solid.


> Do they need to be union-ed into one solid model?

It depends on the slicing software. some may be able to tolerate several solids as long as they don't have overlapping surface areas.

But I would recommend forming them into one solid.
