I need to produce some resin parts on a 3D printer (Elegoo Mars Pro 2). Does anybody know how I can make objects that are an exact size in blender with precise measurements for lengths and angles? Is this even possible? The parts that I’m making need to fit together in a specific way with existin…

Well blender does have the measurement settings in viewport overlays (2.80…) for selected edges and polygons and even the ‘Measure It’ Plugin. So you can make measured reference point, lines, angles…

Do you have a link to instructions on how to use them?

It’s shipped with blender. So Add-ons MeasureIt Documentation: MeasureIt Docs .

there is a complicated Addon included in blender call PDT CAD Addon there are a lot of CAD functions included but it will take time to get use to this big addon it has most of the CAD functions for angles ect… intersecting lines ect… note it has all the tinycad functions and more included! hav…

How do I access it, is there a wiki or instructions? I’m experienced with Cad, but not with blender.

This is going to make a significant difference to me. I was really struggling to move from CAD to Blender but this should jump me way ahead of where I would be otherwise. Being able to draw like Autocad may just make Blender my must have 3D printing tool.

Speaking as somebody who is used to 2D CAD, and who wants to start 3D printing components, this sounds like a really good idea.

Exact lengths and Angles?
