Print Studio Model preparation workspace

Inspect, prepare, and hand off the model behind the job.

Inspect the built-in model and review available preparation steps. Your own files enter through security-reviewed upload; saved results show the checks completed for that file.

Try the built-in sample without an account. File exports and other tools depend on the current access and security settings. See current access

GOALS

Choose where to start

Pick the outcome you need.

Pick one outcome The right workspace opens next.

Opening a goal changes no model; each operation says whether it previews, commits immediately with Undo, or creates a separate artifact.

What it does. Rebuilds and independently checks a prepared STL. How to use it. Run the rebuild once, read the result, then download it or show the exact original again. Output. A verified rebuilt STL and a center-screen before/after receipt; failed or unsupported postconditions are reported rather than admitted as a verified rebuild.

RECOMMENDED · VERIFIED REBUILD

Prepare a bounded repair model

Measure, clean, orient, fit, and independently re-read one prepared STL.

Nothing is changed yet. The sample is intentionally challenging: preparation applies only changes that pass the named geometry checks, and unresolved layer risks can still be refused.

Truth boundary: this changes and verifies real STL bytes. It does not invent missing CAD intent or guarantee a successful physical print. Keep the original for rollback.

MODEL SECTIONS · NO G-CODE

Move a cut-through plane through the active STL.

READY

What it does. Calculates real cut-through sections of the active STL without slicing it. How to use it. Choose one scan direction and spacing, build sections, then move the section slider. Camera buttons only change your view; do not click them as steps. Output. Local contour lines and measured section facts—never G-code.

Build real model sectionsChoose one of six scan directions, then calculate locally. This is geometry inspection, not printer slicing.

Section direction Section spacing mm

Choose a section direction, then build contours from the active STL and current preparation.

Geometry cross-sections only. Use the teal scrollbar on the right, or Page Up/Down and Home/End while this workspace is focused, to reach every control. These sections do not create G-code or change the model.

ACTIVE STL → VERIFIED G-CODE

Place the model, verify it, then generate G-code in this same grid.

SOURCE MODEL

Generated G-code appears in this gridThe active STL is shown here first. After Step 3, verified toolpaths replace it in the same viewport.

3 STEPS · LOCAL

Prepare → verify → generate.

The source STL stays visible above until verified G-code replaces it in the same grid.

READY

What it does. Generates basic perimeter/infill paths and optional brim from supported STL geometry, then re-reads the G-code. Limits. No solid top/bottom skins, supports, or retractions. At 0% infill, only walls and any selected brim are generated. “Verified” means the bytes passed the supported parser checks—not that the file is machine-ready or the part will print successfully. How to use it. Choose one build-plate face, verify the exact setup, then generate. The six bed-face buttons are alternatives—do not click them left to right. Review printer origin, homing, start/end code, temperatures, and extrusion calibration in your printer software before use. Output. A downloadable G-code file and a toolpath preview for these supported paths; neither proves machine readiness or print success.

2Verify setupBind readiness to these exact STL bytes and settings.
3Generate G-codeBuild, re-read, and paint toolpaths in the grid.

Step 1 · Choose the side that touches the build plate These are the only face controls on Slice. They physically rotate the STL; dragging the preview or using its zoom controls changes only the camera. Current: Bottom (as loaded)

Step 2 · Review these settings, then verifyThe defaults are ready to check. Any later setting or orientation change requires verification again.

The guided sample must be prepared once. Step 1 installs PrintPass-calibration-cube-20mm-make-it-work.stl, a public 20 mm cube supported by this limited local slicer. Step 2 verifies those exact bytes; Step 3 generates and paints G-code. Your previous model stays available through Undo. Inspect the sculpture's thin details in a production slicer.

Step 1: prepare the guided sample. Readiness is intentionally checked afterward against the installed STL.

Narrow closed-manifold STL slicing only. Shells, brim, infill and explicit temperatures change downloaded G-code bytes and are independently re-read before release. Supports, firmware behavior, material suitability, safety, and print success still require review in your printer software.

What it does. Opens G-code that another slicer already created and can optionally inspect its commands. How to use it. Choose one G-code file, review the local preview, then use an explicitly labeled upload only if you want server inspection. Output. A layer preview and measured command findings; this never runs the file on a printer.

Open G-code from another slicer Show travel moves

Choosing a file does not upload it. Local preview runs on this device. Only a clearly labeled upload action sends the file to this server; command inspection also requires an applied reviewed profile.

Choose G-code, then open output exported by your slicer.

Filament and cost estimateUses admitted preview facts plus assumptions you can change.

What it does. Estimates filament mass and cost from the admitted preview. How to use it. Open G-code first, review the four visible assumptions, then estimate. Output. Length, material mass, cost, and the source hash—not print time or a success prediction.

Filament diametermm Material densityg/cm³ Spool costper kg Purge / waste allowance%

The estimate request sends only preview totals, your assumptions, and the file's SHA-256 identity—not the G-code file. It is not a deposited-volume, purge, time, quality, safety, or success prediction.

Preview and static command inspection only. Print Studio does not execute G-code, simulate firmware, prove machine safety, validate every dialect, or promise print quality or success.

View only: these tools inspect a sampled preview. They do not edit or slice your STL or 3MF.

Browser restore: source onlyUp to 24 hours · edits are not saved

Optional source-file recovery

If enabled, Print Studio keeps only the original accepted STL or 3MF source file in this browser for no more than 24 hours so it can recover after a refresh.

Edits are not saved. This source-file recovery does not include transforms, repairs, measurements, slice settings, undo history, or generated files. Saved production plans and outcome records are separate browser-local tools.

For an existing saved job, browser restore may keep only its same-site route pointer instead of file bytes; access is checked again before navigation.

This browser-restore control does not create a server project or save a copy to your account. Analyzing a selected file still sends it to the separate analysis endpoint.

Open the complete Studio save map in a new tab so this workspace stays open.

PREPARE THE REAL MODELMove the part—not just the camera.

Try changes, undo anything, then download an STL or supported 3MF whose geometry contains the changes.

USEFUL MODEL ACTIONS Measure it. Fit it. Make the handed copy. These tools read the active model, and each action states its supported format. During the current page session, the source remains loaded as the rollback baseline; Undo covers only preparation steps still present in the visible history.

What it does. Measures the active model or creates one specific fit, mirror, cleanup, separation, or cut result. How to use it. Choose the single action you need and follow only the controls shown with that action; these buttons are alternatives, not a left-to-right sequence. Output. Visible measurements, a reversible preview, or a separately verified file as named by the action.

Make a mirrored STL or 3MFApplies the size and rotation above, then mirrors through the model center. Supported direct-mesh 3MF packages keep their container and metadata; unsupported structures fail closed. For the current page session, the source stays loaded for rollback until a new source is accepted.

What it does. Makes one handed copy. How to use it. Choose exactly one axis that matches the copy you need—do not click all three. Output. After a successful operation, the result is a separate mirrored file; for the current page session, the active source remains the rollback baseline until a new source is accepted.

Guarded file toolsNothing is silently changed. Print Studio previews cleanup evidence or packages connected parts with the exact original for rollback.

What it does. Checks cleanup, separates shells, or cuts two supported closed parts. How to use it. Choose one tool. For cleanup, set choices, preview evidence, then download; for a cut, set direction and position, then build. Output. A reviewed artifact or a clear refusal—never a silent model change.

Cut into two closed model partsChoose a direction and position. Print Studio creates and caps both halves only when the supported topology and named postconditions pass.

Direction Position 47%

Geometry cut only—not layers, toolpaths, G-code, or automatic repair. Unsupported holes or plane-coincident edges fail closed.

MULTI-PART BED Arrange several STLs on this printer. Select 2–32 parts. Print Studio measures their real bounds, finds a spaced rectangular-footprint layout, and packages one multi-shell assembly plus every exact source file for rollback.

What it does. Arranges 2–32 separate STL files on the selected printer bed. How to use it. Select at least two files, set margin and spacing, find a layout, review the bed map, then download. One selected STL is intentionally not placed in this multi-part tool. Output. A verified bed bundle containing one positioned multi-shell STL plus every exact source file for rollback.

Bed-edge marginmm Space between partsmm

Uses the active printer dimensions from Setup. Rectangular bounds only—not supports, purge structures, gantry clearance, or toolpaths.

What it does. Builds a real prepared model from the visible size, orientation, and placement choices. How to use it. Adjust only what you need, check the prepared preview and Undo history, then click Build prepared model. Exact-size entries are drafts until Resize proportionally succeeds. Output. After successful verification, an STL or supported 3MF is reloaded in the center viewer and the receipt shows a download control and SHA-256 hash.

HUMAN HANDOFF · YOU REVIEW FIRST Carry the useful facts—not the model file.

Public Community knowledge is currently readable without a paid plan. A signed-in account is required to review and publish a question. Each button may first send the active STL to this site's measurement endpoint. The separate draft or packet request then sends only the listed measurements plus relevant printer/material, goal or symptom, and requested-service fields—no model bytes. Neither path posts to Community or contacts a vendor.

What it does. Repackages the current Rescue evidence for a person. How to use it. Build the Rescue plan first, choose either a Community draft or vendor review packet, review the preview, then explicitly open or download it. Output. An unposted draft or SHA-256-labeled JSON packet; these controls do not post the draft or contact a vendor.

SLICE READINESS · REAL MODEL Stop a bad setup before it reaches a slicer.

Print Studio applies the preparation state, measures the exact active STL, and checks fit, nozzle, material, temperature, speed, and local-worker limits. This gate is intentionally tied to the adjacent STL-only browser slicer and does not create toolpath layers or G-code. For 3MF, download the prepared model and use trusted production slicer software.

What it does. Checks whether the exact active STL and visible setup can enter the local slicer. How to use it. Review supports and brim, open the ceilings only if needed, then run the check; rerun after changing the model or settings. Output. An admission result with normalized facts and named findings—not G-code or printer approval.

What it does. Changes planning assumptions for this model and printer. How to use it. Choose a quick starting point or edit the fields, apply a reviewed profile when available, then open Review to compare one plan. Output. Updated estimates and downloadable settings; Setup never rotates the STL or creates G-code.

Scale resizes the model immediately. Material changes its illustrative finish. Other settings update estimates; the camera stays fixed.

Why can estimated time change by many hours?

This is a planning estimate, not sliced G-code time. The five plans hold the prepared pose, material, model scale, machine, quantity, calibration, and shop economics constant. Their time differences come from nozzle, layer height, infill, and quality. Support stays tied to the analyzed pose; Review never invents a new orientation. Each card shows its ratio to the current reference. Slice the prepared model with the selected settings to get toolpath-based time.

GEOMETRY OUTPUT Unchanged by estimate Review plans never build a new STL. Fix and Prepare change the reversible working preparation; Build prepared model verifies and reloads those exact bytes. Until that rebuild, Review and settings are visibly marked stale.

SETTINGS OUTPUT Current settings ready 0.4 mm nozzle · 0.20 mm layers · 20% infill · 205°C / 55°C. The file is bound to Current setup until you select a Review plan; it is then rebound to that plan. It is not prepared-model geometry or G-code.

Slicer settings handoff

Download the current active-model assumptions as settings, open them in your slicer, then validate the real toolpaths there. Print Studio has not sliced the model. If physical Fix or Prepare changes are pending, Studio withholds this handoff until Build prepared model verifies and reloads those exact bytes.

Confirm the selected printer, nozzle, and material profile exist in the slicer.
Inspect first-layer contact and every support interface in layer preview.
