The big model is turned into multiple small pieces. The following picture shows the sliced model. There is no way you can print such a large 3D model with a small 3D printer directly. You can see the graphical display of build volume of 3D printer and the 3D model is much bigger than the build volume. The following picture shows the original 3D model I would like to print. This article shows how I used Afanche3D to help me print a large 3D model ( 220x220x425mm ) with MakerBot Replicator Mini 3D printer, which has a build volume of 100x100x125mm. You can use Afanche3D to measure 3D model to know how big it is, compare them against build volume of 3D printer, slice the 3D model at any given position, adjust the position of each individual part to make sure it is on printer's platform, export each of the small parts as a separate STL file which is ready for 3D printing. ![]() Afanche3D software provides all the tools needed in this process. Once you have all the small parts printed, you glue them together. If you want to print a large 3D model with a regular size 3D printer, the only way to do it is to cut the large model into multiple small pieces and print each small part individually.
