Meshsmith - 3d Printing Add-on

Everything you need to prepare your models for 3D printing without leaving Blender

Hi Folks! :slight_smile: I just released a Blender add-on to help get meshes print-ready.
I got into 3d printing a while back, and more often than not, I end up needing to fix, rescale, cut and combine the models before printing. And the damn scale is always off for some reason!

While Blender base tools are great, they are a bit more general and spread out across the ui. And some operations, like making clean cuts or pegs, can be a bit of work.
So I decided to make an add-on to help me out doing model prep and stl export for 3d printing. And in typical dev fashion, I ended up adding more features.
I ended up with a nice suite of tools that are likely useful to more 3d printing folks, so I polished it up and am now releasing it as an add-on.

It’s great if you work with miniature figures like dnd, historical, wargaming. Larger figures and cosplay props. And can even help with cleaning up and correct scaling for more practical prints that need exact measures.
Did I mention batch export of selected objects into individual STLs? :wink:

Cool features:

  • reliable scale > one click setup and blender/grid/units are real-world scale ( same scale as the 3d printer software )
  • Miniatures size reference:

    Reference male / female - 32mm is 32mm scale. No more mismatched scales in your table!
    Has some common default scales, but you can set your own.

An easy way to cut and make pegs for larger figures or cosplay props:
