hi,

you have to design your print in the 3d software as 2 separate parts and save them together in one STL.

Make the outer part hollow, (shell, in most software).

If this is no help enough, you might want to post a screenprint or something to get a better idea of your question.

    Thanks for your fast reply! What do you mean with "save them togehter in one STL"? I work with Blender- I´m only able to make a boolean operation, so that the two parts become one.

    I want to print a fuselage with a solid block in it, so that I can screw the wings on it.

    I hope this helps!

    Regards!

    Not so fast this time, did not see it before.

    I'm not familiar with blender, "save them together in one STL" means, you can save more then one part in a stl.

    Perhaps you can copy your fuselage, scale down one, and substract one from the other?. or something like that.

    than you end up with a hollow fuselage, to print with no infill.

    Or draw a part for the spots you want hollow, and then do a boolean substraction.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
