![]() ![]() In order to do that, you have to increase both values of the the “1st axis” and the “2nd axis” that are on the left side of the menu. To sum it up, if you want a more detailed representation of your 3D model, you have to add more parts to it. ![]() Indeed, the higher the value of the 2nd axis, the more layers our 3D model has. We get the same effect if we change the value of the “2nd axis”. You can see this on the right side of the menu where the plans are. Obviously, this change affects also the number of parts of the sliced model, and consequently the number of sheets that will be used for laser cutting. We notice that the higher we set the value of the “1st axis” option, the more layers of our model. Let’s experiment with the options that are on the left side of the menu.įor example, let’s change the value of the “1st axis” option. The sliced 3D model consists of both horizontal and vertical layers, that are connected to each other. Now the 3D model has a totally different slicing appearance than before.Īs you can see, this construction technique lays the layers in a very different way. When I print, I intend to cut the blue lines and use the red lines to create score marks which will help align each layer of the complete globe.Select the “Interlocked Slices” mode from the menu on the left side. Before actually making this, I intend to clean up the PDF and merge a number of pieces onto fewer pages, reducing the unused space currently on many of the pages. Note that this is a 22 page PDF with each page sized for the 11"x19.5" cutting area on a Glowforge. Selected stacked slices for the construction technique.Īdjusted the Slice Direction to align with the North/South poles.Ĭlicked on the “Hollow” button on the bottom of the screen and hollowed out the center of the globe in order to create rings instead of discs for each slice.Ĭlicked on “Get Plans,” chose PDF as my preferred format and then exported to a file on my computer which you can download here. ![]() Note that the thickness is set to 0.115 (typical thickness of cardboard from Amazon boxes)
