That company can print lights in 3D.

Lantern is a traditional handicraft, which was made of paper paste in ancient times. Hong Rui 3D printing means that we are in the 2nd/kloc-0th century, so we came up with the idea of making lanterns with 3D printing technology, and successfully created a unique lantern.

First, there are many download platforms on the Internet that provide free 3D printing models. Get a 3D model file suitable for making Lantern as your printing model. If you are proficient in modeling, please ignore this step. The 3D model of this paper can be downloaded from the following website /Model3D.

The second step, this paper takes www.hori3d.com Hong Rui 3D printing slicing software as an example, opens the slicing software and loads your 3D model. As shown in the figure below, the bottom of the model faces upwards. As the saying goes, "high buildings rise from the ground", so does 3D printing. The model must be established from the bottom, so it needs to be transformed. Next, Hong Rui 3D printing will teach you to adjust the model!

I found that it took 26: 45 to print. Why? The original bottom face is upward, resulting in more support for the model. As the saying goes, "high buildings rise from the ground", so does 3D printing. Then we rotate the model and slice it in layers. Hey! After such an attempt, I found that it takes less time, not only that, but also saves consumables, not bad! So how to adjust the rotation mode? Next, Hong Rui 3D printing will teach you to rotate the model.

Step 3: In the lower right corner of the operation interface, find the "Flip Model/Face" icon and click it, and three sub-icons will appear. Then click "Rotate Model to Selected Plane", and the icon will turn blue. At this point, click on the surface to be in contact with the printing platform-the surface indicated by the red arrow to complete the flipping. After rotation, the circular bottom surface of the model is in contact with the printing platform.

Step four, slice. Because the models used in this paper are curved structures, in the process of 3D printing, the diameters of some models are getting bigger and bigger, which need support to ensure the success rate of printing. Click "Layered Slice", the system will automatically add support, and then export the GCODE file and print it with a 3D printer.

Step five, peel off the bracket. After 3D printing is completed, you must carefully peel off the bracket bit by bit. Remember: you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient.
