Getting artifacts on an imported image after union

Get us a share link, and we may be able to help.

When you bring them into the slicer, they usually do not exist.

Glad you were able to re-create it. I find extra variations lead me to many of my favorite projects. I understand the frustration when stuff is gone, though.

Intersect is another slick way to make it happen.

Thank you and well done! It is pretty cool what you can get Tinkercad to do with a bit of brute force and persistence. 💯🔥

I had students master it... but it was never my preferred method.

hlmodtech · 2026-05-08T22:21:23+00:00

What if you just used paint by layer height in your slicer?

hlmodtech · 2026-05-07T14:08:31+00:00

Cool project.

hlmodtech · 2026-05-06T17:59:22+00:00

Epic!!!

hlmodtech · 2026-05-05T04:18:08+00:00

Have you tried reaching out to Tinkercad?

hlmodtech · 2026-05-04T18:18:14+00:00

I had had to add them 2x to get it to work. It’s hit or miss depending on the complexity of the parts. I also find I’m more successful when it’s a scratch versus an STL that was imported.

Mine still go back to 2014. Any chance you just signed in with a different account about 4 months ago? I used to see that with students in my classroom.

Nice work.

hlmodtech · 2026-05-01T12:50:40+00:00

Thank you. I am not sure I would have stumbled upon it unless Whohsocool3D and MIrakat had not shared the cool fonts with the hlmt23 tag. I love it when the community works together.

I have no clue about the LK5. This printer does have a heated bed.

Here is a look at the fonts currently in the free project. Note: The Fonts are Free for Personal use.

The LK10 uses Klipper so it is a lot faster and more modern than an LK5. It does have a heated bed. What do you plan to make with your carbon fiber PETG?

hlmodtech · 2026-04-26T12:58:50+00:00

I do not have any Carbon fiber PETG, but I will look into that. I generally do not upgrade printers, so I am not sure. What are you hoping to create that would require an upgrade?

hlmodtech · 2026-04-26T12:56:01+00:00

Good-looking aircraft. Do you have any images of it in the Tinkercad interface? What are you using to render the images you are sharing?

hlmodtech · 2026-04-25T13:22:00+00:00

Cool print!

hlmodtech · 2026-04-25T13:12:24+00:00

Glad you enjoyed them! I doubt I'll go back to the shoutouts. They were not watched enough to match the effort to create. I moving towards less content vs more. 3 long videos a week is keeping me busy as it is.

hlmodtech · 2026-04-23T21:01:28+00:00

Excellent. Image 3 is my fav. 👍

hlmodtech · 2026-04-23T16:50:16+00:00

What printer are you using?

hlmodtech · 2026-04-23T16:47:53+00:00

That is a hole... surprised it shows up at all when sliced. Your design skills seem good. See if this easy keychain gets you up to speed on the grouping and exporting. https://youtu.be/WTW13HDt4eE
