Create real drainage holes during STL-Export

[CHPG]

Hello,

Maybe i didn’t find the correct way to do this, but currently it is impossible to Export an STL with real drainage holes. Since my Printer is not able to use the slices created by formware it is not useable for hollow parts.

Please add a possibility to really create the Drainage holes during the Export as STL-File.

Kind regards

Hi Christian,

Yes it’s coming in 1-4 days…
Please see my remarks here:

Drainage holes sliced as plugs, not holes

Hi Elco, Thanks for that info. Just to be clear though I am not exporting the part to STL, just slicing it normally. In the slices the drainage holes are solid so no holes appear. In the image the cursor points to one of the drainage ‘holes’. It did not cut through the part but remained as a solid. The part is light blue and the drainage holes are dark blue.

I’ve uploaded a new version of the installer that includes this.

A word of caution; if you do this with very big meshes it will take a memory load because of the ‘undo/redo’ functionality storing modified meshes.
