3D printing a 3D model! When printing, you may encounter the problem that the model you want to print exceeds the limits of the workspace. For example, let's take a 3D model of a building with dimensions 50×50×265, and it does not fit into the 3D printer workspace.
3D printing a 3D model
This problem can be solved if we split the model into two parts using Autodesk Inventor. Open the model in the program and create a work plane at a height of 135 mm from the base of the model:

Now we need to create holes in the future parts. For this, we create a sketch on the work plane.
Press the F7 button:
And draw a circle with the required diameter (for example, 12 mm):
Close the sketch:
And now start the extrusion:
Select the circle and set the operation type, taking the direction in both ways to a depth of 10 mm:
Run the split command:
We need to choose the option to split the model and specify the splitting plane:
After this, you will see two separate bodies: Create a new assembly based on the part using the (Create Components) command:
Select the two resulting bodies and specify where the assembly will be saved:
Assign file names:
In the created assembly, perform the following actions:
Select the part, right-click, and choose Edit:
Then select the Export command:
Save the file in STL format:
Also, create a model of the centering pin:
And upload the finished models into the 3D printer software:
We get the finished models:
Glue them together and get what we wanted:
We remind you that our online store offers a wide variety of 3D scanner models, 3D pens, and 3D printers for every need.
