the number one way to save money on 3d printing

many consumers’ first priority is to reduce the cost of 3d prints. to do so, we must first understand how the expenses of 3d printing are computed. the amount of material required for printing your object is most likely the most essential variable. so all we have to do now is use as little material as feasible. is the thing being shrunk? no way! i’m hollowing it out like a pro!
save money by not using material that you don’t need!

the majority of 3d printing materials are priced on a volume basis. the less stuff you utilise, the less money you will spend. this indicates that a hollow model will be less expensive than a solid form. hollowing your object will also prevent deformations in some materials

however, creating a 3d model with an empty interior can be difficult: you must understand how to hollow your model in the 3d modelling software you are using, you must define a wall thickness that is strong enough to prevent your model from breaking, and it is probably a good idea to include so-called “escape holes” in your model. so let’s take a step by step approach to these issues

reduce costs by creating a hollow 3d model and 3d printing it

a hollow model indicates that the interior of your object will be hollow. solid designs are not necessarily an issue because they are stronger and more difficult to break (depending on the material), but they are also more expensive because more 3d printing material is utilised

the interior of your print will be empty if you use a hollow model (in theory). however, because our printers print layer by layer, 3d printing material can become trapped inside your model (see the image in the middle below). if you want to avoid this, you can incorporate ‘escape holes’ into your design. material that is not required for the construction of your 3d print can then be eliminated

is the wall thickness sufficient for a hollow model?

creating a hollow model necessitates designing your item with ‘walls.’ a printer needs to know how thick the walls of your products are supposed to be (the “outside sh-ll,” if you will. we don’t have a ‘one-size-fits-all’ wall thickness to propose for any 3d printing material. some materials, such as hd stainless steel and titanium, can go quite thin (minimum wall thicknesses of 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm, respectively), whereas ceramic requires walls that are at least 4–6 mm thick. the majority of our materials are between 1 and 3 mm thick

many of you, i’m sure, wish to save money by keeping the wall thickness to a bare minimum. that makes sense because it implies less material will be utilised and the print will be less expensive. however, keep in mind that making your walls too thin can make your model excessively brittle, causing portions of it to break off. read our advice on how to acquire the appropriate wall thickness for your 3d print, and be sure you first read the instructions for your 3d printing material

in my 3d modelling software, how do i make a hollow model?
because each 3d modelling software operates differently, hollowing a 3d model is easier in some than in others. nonetheless, we’ll look at several examples here

123d design is one programme that has an easy-to-use hollowing function. by selecting ‘modify’ and ‘sh-ll,’ it can hollow any shape. you may then specify the size of the hollowed sp-ce as well as the thickness of the remaining walls

it’s a little more complicated with other programmes, such as sketchup. start with a 2-dimensional rectangle and use the ‘offset’ function to get started. this will result in the formation of a rectangle within a rectangle. if you delete this sp-ce, you will have an empty sp-ce in your rectangle (left hand side in the image below). this 2d shape can then be ‘pulled’ into a 3d object (right hand side in the image below). finally, at the top and bottom of the design, you can add ‘walls.’

the free autodesk software meshmixer is perhaps the simplest approach to create a hollow model. insert your 3d file, then choose ‘edit’ and ‘hollow’ to see instantaneous results

why do i require escape routes?

as previously stated, our 3d prints are created layer by layer. with a hollow interior, 3d printing materials might become stuck inside the item. a hollow model filled with trapped powder is at risk of deforming. escape holes are recommended for getting ‘trapped’ 3d printing material out of your 3d print (in most situations, this is plastic, metal, ceramic, or wood powder). we often use compressed air to remove surplus powder

now the question is how many escape holes a print need and how large they must be. again, there is no uniform answer: it all depends on the 3d printing material and the size of your design

consider the following: while we recommend at least two escape holes for multicolor prints, you should create more holes for gold, silver, brass, and bronze prints. while an escape hole of at least 1.5 mm in diameter is acceptable for gold and silver prints, apertures for ceramic objects must be at least 10 mm in diameter. again, consulting the different design guides will give you with all of the answers

how do i make escape holes?
again, the specific process varies according on your software, but the idea is usually the same: construct a cylinder at the bottom of your model then extrude or subtract from its wall (see image below). meshmixer’s hollowing tools even have a mode that allows you to automatically generate escape holes
