Blender 3D Printing by Example

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to add a standard torus mesh to your project. You learned how to adjust its size and how to position it. For Service Bureau printing, you learned how to rotate the torus. For home printing, you learned how to use the Border Select and Scale features to flatten the back of the torus. You learned how to combine your profile and your torus into a single object using the Boolean Union Modifier. Finally, you learned to export your work into an STL file for 3D printing.

In the Chapter 5, Building a Base with Standard Meshes and a Mirror, you'll use standard meshes and a mirror to start another jewelry piece, a customized coordinate bracelet.
