Yea one tool never really seems to have everything. If you are into 3d modeling it seems you just need to get experience with a few tools. Slicer + Modeler. Again, thanks for your help. Have a good one bud.

Thanks Greg, during my TS I figured as much. Ultimately, I found MS 3d Builder to not really have enough of a community/support so I went with blender and this tutorial. I wanted to take one last moment to thank you for your help, you helped me to think differently and I appreciate it very much man. .

@GregValiant Thanks for the tips Greg, I am trying the MS3d way. Question, when I place a cube and resize it, how do I then delete? When I place my model in another model to make a hole, subtract is greyed out. meshtest.stl

hmm

@GregValiant That's exactly it! How did you remove the blocker?

And thats a fair statement. WeightTesting1 is the master file. Weighttest4 is the block to remove. PI3MK3M_Master-Scaleup-Multiple-Scaledown-WeightTesting1.3mf PI3MK3M_Master-Scaleup-Multiple-Scaledown-Block-Weightcut4.3mf

@GregValiant Well I guess it would be more succinct to say that I am trying to use Cura to cut a shape out of a model before I slice it. I only use the slice method to cut because I see no other way to do it. So its 2 slices, 1 to cut out the cube, and a second to apply supports but they are blocked by the blocker. I don't understand why i can't remove the blocker after the slice to leave the finished product I need so I can slice it a second time with supports. I just hate to reimport an STL out of another application because I find there can sometimes be issues.

@GregValiant Thank you so much for taking some time to respond, no problem. So ideally I would not like to stop the print and add the weight for various reasons. I would like to take the model as you see it here post cut and rotate it 180 degrees so that the cut square opening is on the bottom of the model. Once in that orientation I would like to print it, the reason being there are chains on the other side that could get scarred by supports. But if I rotate it 180, it will need supports in the cut out square area. Because the blocker is there it wont print supports on the interior of that square opening. I just don't understand how to remove the blocker post cut so I can get supports in there.
-
@GregValiant but how do you then remove the blocker post slicing so that you can have a viable model to add supports to in the gap you have created? If I leave it there it will prevent supports. I have watched 3 guides and no one ever comments on this. I want to create a cube gap in my model to insert a cube weight.
