Pls add hollowing tool, all fuzzy skin options and a freehand cut tool

like the title said i think this would be awesome features inside bambu slicer!!

1 - all options from orca for fuzzy skin!!! there are alot more options wich are pretty cool!

2-some kind of freehand cut tool to split models

3-some hollowing feature - i know its mostly used for resing but i thnk its also very handy for fdm!

Does setting infill to 0 not fulfill your requirement? This should essentially hollow the model?

You could also rescale a copy of the model and set it to a negative part.

That works well for standard shapes but let’s say (my experience…), you download a small house for a christmas village that is just a big block of plastic and you want it hollowed with a 3mm wall thickness for instance, BS does not have this option. I think it’s mainly an option you find in resin printing slicer but that could well apply to FDM as well and I’m sure some slicers have it.

What I did is download a SLA/DLP slicer (Chitubox 3D basic which is free), use any printer in settings, load my house in it, use the hollow feature, set the thickness and save the result as a new stl to print in BS. The house was way bigger than the plate of the slicer and overshot in all directions :wink: but although I’m sure you can set a bigger plate, for hollowing the slicer does not care.

The only issue was that BS was reporting thousands of non manifold issues that I did not fix because fixing just filled my hollow volume :slight_smile:

Not as elegant an SLA slicer since they don’t deal with wall layers, but the feature is there in Bambu Studio. You just switch to zero % infill as JonRaymond suggested. Want 3mm wall thickness? just add more walls. Weirdly enough it was kind of hard to find a non hollow house to use as an example, but here’s one where I set to 0% infill and 7 walls which should be close to 3mm without adjusting line thickness.

What would make that process easier would be like in Cura where you can set wall thickness and the slicer automatically calculates how many walls you need. So maybe adding that would be a more elegant solution. Having a hollowing feature like Chitubox would be neat to have, but isn’t strictly necessary.

Thank you, I’ve never thought of using infill % for this. It would have been enough to solve my case :wink:

if you could as well add make overhang printables in dev mode that would be awsome… thanks

for some stuff it works but for most it dont… alo for thicker shell i need to use a ton of walls wich takes forever…

thats what i did too but i think it would be handy inside bambustudio too :smiley:

i dont think this i a solution u can compare… using more than 2 walls is no solution for me this take forever to print and uses to much filament it also doenst work with all models… also it dont let light shine through… i think the 0% infill works good for fake vase mode… but thats it…

“Hollowing” will not change this as the slicer will still give you inner and outer walls with infill in between.

i found another very helpfull function they could add…

they need to add repeater functions for the svgs…
