@slug @Krauerking there are some out there. Can't say I looked to closely but I wasn't terribly impressed.

@Krauerking my opinion is no. For many things you can find a model on line. Much of the challenge can be getting the printer to work as you wish, so modelling might not be first on the to do list.

@WolfLink @papalonian yeah, something like this but you might try. MS 3D Builder is out is still around our even good old Meshmixer!

Alternatively you could try adding a plane and extrusion this downwards on blender, Meshmixer etc

@nautilus @dlatch this conversation degenerated quickly.....

@bdonvr you've probably heard this before...... But magnetic PEI build plate is the best adhesion I've had.
Used glass on my CR10S but it's night and day vs PEI on the ender 3 S1 plus.
Keeping it clean is key but copious quantity of IPA and a very light sand has worked so far.

@CarbonAlpine Amazing model. Did you publish anywhere? I'd like to print for a full size mock up horse I made.

@MissJinx there are a few but some are just rebadged versions of other slicers. Prusa/Orca and Slicer are two I have tried.

@MissJinx I've had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.

Did you try changing the vase mode settings?

Some models don't work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.

You might try a different slicer?

@andyspam this may be of some use. The YouTube channel I liked. https://auroratechchannel.com/

@AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?

I've found it to be complimentary to Meshmixer. It has a nice combine function to simplify complex models.

@AlexanderTheGreat it's old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.

Let's you split and combine as well as align

@RegalPotoo @Wilshire good point. Release agents are used for casting concrete. They look to be oil and water mix so I'm guessing most plastics would be compatible.
Also has to be a clear path out for the print/concrete.
