    PRO TIP: You can actually hit the little arrow icon at the top to rotate your model's orientation. You no longer need to export the model with the "Y" orientation up. Here's where the arrow's at - snag.gy/Vq6CHT.jpg

    I want to CNC a giant (1000mm) version of a 3d Print model out of foam and was wondering how to slice it. I'll give this a go. Looking for slicing tutorials for CNC gets flooded by all the 3D Printing slicing tutorials, glad I found yours

    • @ProductDesignOnline

      Are you trying to slice so it can be cut out of a sheet of plywood? or just split the part so it fits on the CNC bed?

    • @paulzagoridis5785
      @paulzagoridis5785 4 роки тому

      @@ProductDesignOnline Slice so it fits on the bed. The final model will be 1.6m x 1.2m x 0.5m when assembled. Most of it can be hollow so I'll only cut the outside surface of the model as thick as my x-axis.
      I know I can cut it in plywood slices (like the lampshade) easily but then it's not the 3d model I want. Its a stacked set of 2D plates. That can look good as an artwork. But I really want to foam cut a XL size model (e.g. a Grizzly bear)

    @ProductDesignOnline ...I was shattered when Autodesk pulled the plug on (the old) Slicer for Fusion 360 and have been searching for a replacement ever since. I had structured a practice around it and found it one of the most useful pieces of design software ever. Do you know of any other software that does what it did?... or the developers? I've been hunting for ages and the only thing I've found that comes close is FlatFab (but really nowhere near as good). I'm sure there are lots of others that miss it too. Thanks in advance

I expect my stock of plywood and card to be very much depleted by the other side of this rainy weekend. :)

    • @klayjones724

      If I understand your question right, I believe it's easier to do the tiling in your CNC CAM software. In Easel for the Xcarve I can create material larger than the bed and it will setup the tiling and have a step where I shift the material to a 2nd starting point. That gets me a 30" x infinite workspace

      Hi, Schematter CAD & Printing Goa. Unfortunately, there is no native way to hide or remove the numbers in Slicer. The fastest way I've found is by using Adobe Illustrator. You can select all of the numbers and other markings (red) by selecting all of the same color.
      1.Select any one part of the image that contains the color you want to remove (black in this case) with the Direct Selection Tool (A)
      2. Go to the Select menu > Same > Fill Color.

      Hi, Nojus Armonas. Unfortunately, this has been a known issue (I've seen som posts on the forum about this). They are no longer working on the development of Slicer so I'm not sure if there will be a fix for this any time soon - other than manually deleting the second line. If you export as DXF and open in a graphics program they should be on layers where you can delete all of them by deleting the corresponding layer. Cheers, Kevin :)

      @@ProductDesignOnline oh thanks, just found out on autocad these lines have thickness, 2mm. I guest that was the problem. That other programs rocognize thick line as double line. You can simply change it in line properties in autocad. Haven't tried cutting laser tho. :D . I hope it'll work.

      Hi George. You can download from this forum article where they also talk about how it is no longer supported - forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/slicer-app-for-fusion-360-not-available/td-p/9688237

    It's too bad they have abandoned this product. If they're not going to incorporate it into Fusion then it'd be nice if they would open source the product. There is a lot of obvious improvements that still need to be made.
    For example, in the lampshade there is a lot of waste in the cut plans. It could be made to utilize the void space inside the large rings to nest the smaller rings. Probably cut it down from 26 sheets to 3.

      Agreed! I really thought we were going to see it as part of F360 shortly after...

    Your lamp is hollow on the inside. The nesting parts should have placed the smaller circles inside larger ones and used lot less sheets of cardboard. The nesting has wasted lot of space that could have been used. You shouldn't use slicer for nesting.

      Hi, MySchizo Buddy. As I've done with other objects, one would have to simply reorganize the parts in their laser cut software. Cheers, Kevin :)

      Yeah, I chuckled when Kevin mentioned the software organized the cuts to fit on "fewest amount of sheets as possible"....and figured there was a downstream workaround.

    "minimum number of sheets"... not, by far! you can reduce the number of sheets to a quarter, or even a fifth, by putting the smaller circles inside of the larger ones, and cut them first, and save 75% or 86% of the cardboard 😛

    Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I sliced my existing file and send them for laser cutting, however, the people who do laser cutting asked me to provide a file without the numbers marked on every profile (in red). Is there anyway we can generate profiles without the numbers marked???

    • @ProductDesignOnline
      @ProductDesignOnline  5 років тому +1

      Hi, Carl de Souza. Unfortunately, there is no native way to hide or remove the numbers in Slicer. The fastest way I've found is by using Adobe Illustrator. You can select all of the numbers and other markings (red) by selecting all of the same color.
      1.Select any one part of the image that contains the color you want to remove (black in this case) with the Direct Selection Tool (A)
      2. Go to the Select menu > Same > Fill Color.
      Cheers, Kevin :)
