simple enough but not intuitive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THIS WORKFLOW MAY REPLACE THE STANDARD EXPORT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select ONE body you wish to export from the Browser in your

select your file, and select <strong>Open<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The model will display in the content area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\">Open your Nine Square file, and in the Browser select a body you&#8217;d like to slice by name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\">In

<strong>Make&gt;3D Print <\/strong>(told you, it&#8217;s not intuitive!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\">In the 3D Print dialog, under Print Utility, select <strong>Custom<\/strong>, and use the folder icon to open a finder window. Browse for and select the SlicerForFusion app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"text-decoration:line-through\">Slicer pops open, with an intimidating little TOS dialog\u2014just select OK here. Your object appears in the Slicer window!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manufacturing_Settings_and_Object_Size\"><\/span>Manufacturing Settings and Object Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few preliminaries must be set before we explore our slicing options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manufacturing Settings<\/strong>  |  This sets the format for the area you&#8217;ll be cutting. Skip the dropout menu with presets and click on the gear icon.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This opens an options bar at the bottom of the window. Here, select a width of 11 inches and a length of 19, to conform to the limits of our laser&#8217;s cutting bed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For thickness, accept the default value of 0.1772, though be aware this will be a very important variable to tend to when we create your actual laser file in the project. You may also accept the other defaults here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Object Size<\/strong>  |  With the Uniform Scale button on by default, change the height to about 3 inches. You&#8217;ll be able to change this later if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Construction_Technique_Creating_planes\"><\/span>Construction Technique: Creating planes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many options in the dropout menu under <strong>Construction Technique<\/strong>, but we&#8217;ll explore two in this exercise: <strong>Stacked Slices<\/strong>, which creates parallel layers, and <strong>Interlocking Slices<\/strong>, which creates an egg-crate effect.&nbsp;If generating an egg-crate, Slicer will auto-generate slots for you, saving hours of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose whichever you wish, but be aware of the number of sheets it generates. When we do the final design, we will determine the number of sheets allowed per class based on enrollment, but this will always be a variable to limiting tooling time. It typically will be a limit of 2 sheets. If there are too many sheets, change the model style or scale the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stacked_Slices\"><\/span>Stacked Slices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Layer planes give you parallel planes that stack together. Be aware of the thickness of your chosen material. This can be trickier than you think: the wrong thickness will accidentally rescale your model along the axis perpendicular to the stack! We have a digital caliper in the maker space to make sure this is accurate for the actual fabrication project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select <strong>Stacked Slices<\/strong> under<strong> Construction Technique<\/strong> and you&#8217;ll see your model automatically develop into a series of pancaked layers in the XY orientation. Notice also, a new<strong> Cut Layout<\/strong> tab opens at right. This shows a preview of the number of sheets and parts created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dowels_a_method_of_registration\"><\/span>Dowels: a method of registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If working with a layered style model, it is recommended that some kind of registration device be factored into the model. For example, a \u215b to \u00bc inch diameter dowel running the length of your project and perpendicular to the layers can be modeled in Slicer. When you get your pieces off the laser bed, a nice round hole is there to receive a dowel, and it will automatically register your pieces together by sliding them onto a wooden or plastic dowel of the same diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some configurations may require two or more dowels. You can add or move dowels by clicking on the blue plane that appears when click the&nbsp;<strong>Dowel<\/strong>&nbsp;button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View this kind of dowel device, and the potential for visual expression, at sculptor&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.naver.com\/dkxmqkr\/70112954120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Park Chan-geul&#8217;s blog<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slice_Direction\"><\/span>Slice Direction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Though it can be a bit wonky, this interface allows you to change the angle of the slice. If you select an axis of rotation and then drag the blue arrow, you can constrain the angle so you can create an XZ or YZ orientation to the slice. You can also go freeform with this\u2014play around by dragging the arrow! If you hate the results, you can hit the <strong>Reset<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you drag the angle, you might notice some of the pieces turn blue or red. <strong>Blue<\/strong> is a warning that you have a piece that is not connected\u2014move or add dowels to solve this, and change the dowel diameter if you wish. <strong>Red<\/strong> is a warning that you have an &#8220;impossible&#8221; assembly situation\u2014this more often happens with interlocking slices and we&#8217;ll discuss it more in that heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modify_Form\"><\/span>Modify Form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to hollow out a form or thicken it up, use this step, though I find it better to do this kind of thing in the modeling space of Fusion 360. Limited usefulness for our purposes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assembly_Steps\"><\/span>Assembly Steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a bit fun \u2014 it provides a step-by-step interactive that you can try out with a limited palette of materials. For some models, though, it&#8217;s more than fun. It can show you potentially tricky spots in the assembly of your final work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Plans\"><\/span>Get Plans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll cover this step under&nbsp;<strong>Create PDF<\/strong>&nbsp;below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interlocking_Slices\"><\/span>Interlocking Slices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Egg-crates are intersecting planes perpendicular to one another in two planar orientations (XY and YZ, XY and XZ, or XZ and YZ). Slots are generated according to the material thickness you set, so be aware of the proper setting here. Wrong thickness means your slots will either be too tight or loose and the model either won&#8217;t go together or stay together. With certain materials, you want to be aware of the <strong>kerf<\/strong>, the material burned away in processing, and plan accordingly. The variable <strong>Slot Offset<\/strong> under <strong>Manufacturing Settings<\/strong> will account for kerf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slice_Distribution\"><\/span>Slice Distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A tricky thing about interlocking elements: space parallel planes too close and your material begins to lose integrity. My rule of thumb is to make the material between slots a minimum of 3 times the width of the slot, for both visual and structural reasons. In the default slot scenario of 0.1772 inches, I want the material between slots to be 0.53 inches or larger. The spacing from slot to slot will be around 0.7 inches or larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, under <strong>Method<\/strong>, we&#8217;ll select <strong>By Distance,<\/strong> and then under the 1st and 2nd axes, we&#8217;ll enter 0.7 and tweak if needed. I find it easier to type in values, rather than using the arrows. We can ignore the other parameters here for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might notice now that egg-crate objects are more efficient with the material. Where your stack slice may have taken up 2 sheets even at this small 3-inch object size, it&#8217;s likely you only see one sheet here. If size is not mechanically critical, you can scale it up under Object Size to create more pieces\u2014just don&#8217;t exceed the 2-sheet limit. Note how the sheet configuration changes under the Cut Layout tab as you change the size of the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can reduce or increase the <strong>Slice Distribution<\/strong>. Play these two variables against each other and observe the results in <strong>Cut Layout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_registration_dowels_needed\"><\/span>No registration dowels needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The slots themselves function as the registration device in this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slice_Direction-2\"><\/span>Slice Direction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is essentially identical to the stacked slice method. As you play with moving the slice direction in an egg-crate, you may likely see the dreaded red highlighted pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The red highlight indicates an &#8220;impossible&#8221; assembly situation or an area in the material whose cut will essentially fail. By impossible we mean an inherent contradiction in the slot configuration whereby one piece blocks another piece from sliding into its slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To eliminate the error, rotate the slice direction and\/or change the slice distribution distance until the red clears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modify_Assembly_Get_Plans\"><\/span>Modify, Assembly, Get Plans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>These are identical in function to the same options under the stacked slice method. See <strong>Create PDF<\/strong> below for <strong>Get Plans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_PDF\"><\/span>Create PDF<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All <strong>Construction Techniques<\/strong> offer a <strong>Get Plans<\/strong> option at the bottom of the UI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on the Get Plans icon, and a preview opens in the window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the options bar at the bottom, under <strong>File Type<\/strong>, select <strong>PDF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Export to My Computer<\/strong> and use the dialog box to name and set a location for the file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Illustrator and you&#8217;ll see a series of blue and red vectors. The blue vectors are the cutout lines, while the red vectors are labels indicating some order. Be aware: those red letters and numbers are not text\u2014they are vector geometry in the shape of text!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that, on a laser cutter, the laser will cut them\u2014so when we get to actual fabrication, we&#8217;ll explore a method of separating these red objects onto another layer so they can be turned off. For now, we&#8217;ll let it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you have your PDF file open in Acrobat or Illustrator, export a medium-size JPG file to post to your process journal or blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"546\" height=\"843\" data-attachment-id=\"1498\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/sculpt-and-slice\/2018_shoe_stack1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"546,843\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2018_shoe_stack1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack1.jpg 546w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack1-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack1-300x463.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 2018_shoe_stack.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-cc9b4aec-829f-41c6-87aa-91ac317c8582\" href=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack.pdf\">2018_shoe_stack<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2018_shoe_stack.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-cc9b4aec-829f-41c6-87aa-91ac317c8582\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabbing 2D-3D | line &gt; plane sculpt + slice Hello Slicer Slicer is an indispensable Fusion 360 add-on tool that&nbsp;slices and converts 3D models into 2D patterns that the laser can cut.
