    Hi Rev, superglue and hot glue are commonly used to attach 3D printed parts together. For some novel ways including friction welding the parts together, you may check out this piece on Makezine. Regarding the long skinny triangles, I wouldn't worry about them unless you are experiencing trouble while printing. While they aren't ideal, I've never personally had trouble printing them. That said, increasing the polycount while exporting is likely the best way to avoid the long triangles, but then you can run into overly heavy models that take longer to process and can also make for a lower quality print.

    @ely862me said: This kind of CNC. Took me a while to build and it is still far from complete. The Z axis travel should be over 350mm, X is 1750mm and Y is 1100mm. These are my first real attempts. Some models done for my sister in law - she's a kindergarten teacher. And a stepper motor cover done in foam- just for testing the code. Sorry to somehow hijacking the thread. No I invited the thread jack. That is a very badass CNC btw. Here are some pics of the final product. Definitely room for improvement but overall it came out very well, client happy etc.. Thank you for all the help guys, It really was invaluable! [image: OnXQ_IMG_0248.JPG] [image: Xdas_IMG_0246.JPG]

    @cotty said: @revelever: Thank you for the infos. I would love to see some pictures of printed parts, do you have some which you can share? @cotty @dukejazz Yes I do!. Ill try and up load some later today. And infact I am going to be printing a large part soon that some folks on this forum helped me (learn to) slice up that should showcase some of the rostocks strengths. I'll keep you posted either here or in another thread.

    For architectural scale models, you almost have to start from scratch or rebuild them using the existing model as a guide for the scale you want to print at. The reason is because when you scale down an existing model, you're left with tons of features that are too small to print, so you have to start over and exaggerate the size of features that are important to show, decide what needs to be left out. It's pretty easy to repeat after you've done one, because the modeling is so much simpler. I guess an analogy would be low-poly models for faraway components in a game vs. the high detail closeup objects.

    Hi Stuart, will you be printing Dudley all in one piece, or do you want him to move? If you want him articulated, printing the pieces separately and snapping them together like a ball jointed robot afterwards is recommended, because the clearances needed to print a moving assembly in one go will leave the joints loose and sloppy. You will want all the parts in one group of you mean to print him in one piece. I wouldn't explode everything though, or you'll end up with a non-solid mess. It's usually better to make the individual groups solid and then use the Outer Shell tool to combine them into one solid group. If I were you, I'd make this model one piece first to get a feel for the process, and then if you want to mess around with clearances for joints and assembling pieces, make another model. Just an idea.
