I am stuck trying to design a workstand for an electronic device in Studio because Orca does not yet support the P2S.
Studio really struggles with negative spaces. Sometimes they just vanish.
In the particular example shown here, slicing reorients the negative objects. It also warns me that they need supports, but of course does not actually add any because you don’t support negative space.
I would really prefer to create the shape I want without using cutouts and trying to angle them, but I don’t know if that can be done in studio. All of the shapes seem to be prefab and not modifiable except as to size.
I think your time will be better spent learning to use an actual CAD program. For functional items pick a parametric program that allows easy modifications, because often several iterations are needed to get everything correct. I like the free version of Fusion, but Onshape is also very powerful.
Studio is not designed to create complex shapes and as you have found, attempting to use it for that purpose can be extremely frustrating.
Have you tried using the boolean mesh to actually subtract the negative part from the model? This won’t allow you to modify the cutout after performing it but the slicer will have less issues with the model.
As @lkraus suggested modeling the part in CAD is probably the best way. Negative parts in Bambu Studio is really only for a quick and dirty fix/modification.
no loss of triangle resolution. (if you try this in some other simple tools, like tinkercad, it loses resolution like JPEGs do when you save them a lot) MS.3DB’s a good tool for quick simple cuts, combines, and SVG embosses. It falls apart trying to do anythign complex.
I exported as STL. Bambu Studio offered to do a mesh operations, so I accepted. The STL looked fine - negative objects gone but spaces where they needed to be. I reopened the STL in Studio and it looked fine. Then I tried to slice it.
Another WTF moment.
So I tried to export the model as STL again after some attempts to add parts that Studio refused to place where I wanted them. Bambu Studio said it needed a mesh operation, so I said OK. Then I got this message:
