I’m working on a large model that measures 1.11 m × 74 cm.
The model is prepared for multi‑color printing (four different color/material assignments are already set in the file, exported as a 3MF from Bambu Studio).
Because my printer (Bambu P1S) only has a 25 × 25 cm build plate, I need to split this model into tiles — for example a 3 × 5 grid — so I can print each tile separately and assemble them later.
I only know that it is manually possible to set cuts. But in my case it means I would need to set 4 cuts for the length, and 2 cuts for the width. So, 6 cuts in total.
What I’m looking for:
A way to split this model automatically or with as few steps as possible
While keeping the original multi‑color / multi‑material assignments intact.
My questions:
Are there tools, plugins, or workflows (inside or outside Bambu Studio) that can do this automated tiling while preserving color/material info from the 3MF?
If not, what method would you recommend as the simplest or most reliable? (If manually, I also would like to know if there is an easy way to set those 6 cuts on the right position to get all 15 tiles in the same and equal dimension of 22.3 x 24.4cm.
Any tips, plugins, or software suggestions would be very welcome!
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
I am not sure if I get you right here, excuse me if not.
As my model consists of 5 objects (rock, forest, rivers/lakes, roads and buildings), I need to keep them together in each tile.
So I guess (about definitions) I need to split in parts, and that each of my tiles is a part (including the objects: rock, forest, rivers/lakes, roads and buildings).
Thnx @Neiljt for being patient with me. Obviously, you are at a much higher level.
So, I will try to better explain what I try to accomplish.
The function ‘Split to objects’ or ‘Split to parts’ only becomes available, after selecting one of the objects in the model.
Split to object: when I did, the single object in my model I selected, splitted-up in over 2,000 objects.
Split to part: when I did this, the single object in my model I selected, splitted-up in over 2,000 parts.
I did not expect these two split functions to result in what I need, but I just tried to see what happens. Clearly, it doesn’t split my model into 15 tiles. This is what I look for:
