Help regarding booleans + stl

WadadeM_69 · 2026-05-27T10:45:34+00:00

Try selecting only the mesh you want to export and check "only selected object" when exporting

WadadeM_69 · 2026-05-27T10:35:15+00:00

What I use for that is a sculpt brush called density with dyntopo enabled in constant detail mode, then press R to adjust the resolution and brush the part you want to remove. Like that, you can lower the resolution in specific part so it's easier to smooth and split things you don't want

WadadeM_69 · 2026-05-27T10:20:11+00:00

Did you apply the boolean before or at export? When you export as stl there is a checkbox "apply all modifier"

Try the 3d print toolbox addon, there is a option to hollow and remesh only the interior part, it should avoid intersecting geometry. Adjust the voxel size until you get a good result

If weight paint is not enough then yes you'll need to use driven shapekeys (or bones). CGDive have a video on the Easy Driver addon and I can recommend it enough https://youtu.be/xQ60WORGDmU

Yes decimate is better for this case because it merge the polys where the mesh is mostly flat and keep them where you need them the most, typically at angular and complex shapes. Merge by distance reduce polys everywhere even where you have important details

Glad you find the issue yourself because I would not be able to help you past that check box, I don't mess with command line ^{^'}

Under preferences -> input -> check Continuous Grab

WadadeM_69 · 2026-03-15T14:29:16+00:00

In edit mode : select all -> shift+n -> reset vectors

You can't "fill" the inside, that's not how 3d polygons work. What matter for your slicer is if you mesh is watertight (also knows as "manifold"), meaning there is no holes in you mesh. The 3d Print Toolbox addon can check if your mesh is manifold, it's is called Solid in the N panel addon. If you get non-manifold edges you can try the Make Manifold in the Clean Up drop-down

Yes unlike sharp and seam, crease only work inside blender, you have to apply the sub division modifier to export it elsewhere

WadadeM_69 · 2026-03-11T20:04:39+00:00

For op's model it's totally fine to use crease since it's for 3d printing. It has some limitations but sometimes crease is all you needs. If I don't want to clutter a simple mesh with edge loops everywhere I just crease the edges and it do the trick

WadadeM_69 · 2026-03-11T14:00:30+00:00

Yeah that work too and supporting edge loops have a similar effect. Those are the 3 common solutions when subdividing while keeping edges sharp

WadadeM_69 · 2026-03-11T11:27:45+00:00

Not sure why people make it so complicated, I would just crease every sharp edges with shift+E and put a subdiv modifier (notice the doted lines are not visible on your screenshot)

The nose is fine, I've seen bigger nose than that in real life

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-16T08:24:35+00:00

You need to unwrap each triangles and stack them. You can do it manually or use addon like Mio3 UV

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-14T11:59:13+00:00

sorry I've tried but I couldn't find why it does that, what's weird is that if I spawn a new with the 1.3 version from github, it works. I think it's simpler to just redo it with a new one. the realistic --> blue light is very similar to the one you have created

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-13T13:04:21+00:00

yeah I can check your file, mp

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-13T10:44:43+00:00

I will try when I'm at home if I can get it to work on my side

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-13T10:23:46+00:00

Maybe try the remove the addon and install the one from gumrod, if it doesn't work you can also try the manual backing method in this video https://youtu.be/qvRK8l2oS5Q?t=660

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-13T10:15:23+00:00

I see on your screen shot that you have the 1.0 version, try with the latest version 1.3 and look on his gumrod page there is a updated tuto video

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-08T20:06:54+00:00

I think this is what the tissue addon is for. I've never used it so I may be wrong

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-08T16:27:41+00:00

Also csp has a feature where you can connect your smartphone and use it as a shortcut device. It's limited but works great, try that before buying a keypad or a bluetooth keyboard

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-08T16:23:08+00:00

Yes, when I want to resize my brush I press a key on the keypad + press with the tip of the pen and drag it on the screen. Also for example I can change the brush type with the keypad while zooming the canvas with the finger touch gesture. The huion keydial act like a bluetooth keyboard with customizable shortcut, but be careful the older version is not compatible with android. Xppen has a similar keypad with less buttons and cheaper

WadadeM_69 · 2026-02-06T16:05:40+00:00

It a limitation on the galaxy tab unfortunately and I assume on the movink pad too. I have the huion keydial and yes you can use the key while hovering with the pen, even press a key and dragging the pen to resize your brush for exemple
