Bed STL Model

[enggmaug]

Hi all,

KisSlicer's manual says it's better to use a STL file for the bed shape... but it does not say what to draw in the STL file.
Can anyone share his/hers, or tell me what to draw ?

Is it just a flat round ? cylinder ? Does it show the 3 columns ? How to tell KisSlicer what surface to print onto ?
Is it not only flat but also contains height information from a probe ?

I know at least one person on this forum uses STL files... I won't say who.... everyone knows who....
McH*****y, on your desktop, there is a folder named "3DPrinting". It contains another folder "Things", which contains another folder "Rostock Stuff".
In that folder, you will find the file "RostockBuildPlatform.stl"... but it looks like I can't download it myself...

Would you be kind enough to share it with us, please ?
Oh, by the way... your desktop is a bit messy, I reckon....

Okay, I hope I did not scare you too much....

that was just a joke... you shared your KiSlicer settings, in another thread.... and I read the path for the file in the settings there....

Here's my original one. But note, KISS 1.5 actually draws a round build platform for delta printers using the bed size values.

And my desktop is highly organized!

This one has the SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX embossed on it.

Thank you very much !

And my desktop is highly organized!

I don't doubt it... I was just kidding, so that you'd wonder if I can actually see it...

So, as I see it, it is just for display.... you could actually load the STL of the entire printer, as long as the build plate center is at (0, 0, 0).. Am I right ?

That is correct.
