Once you have ideaMaker installed, you can create an .idea file to submit to the Technology Lab. In this guide, we will go over importing one or multiple models in ideaMaker, how to orient for a successful print, and how to save that as a .idea file type. It is important to note the school's 3D printing policy requires each part to be its own STL file, and each file must be repaired in Netfabb. With Rhino, you will need to export each individual component to its own STL file, then you may add multiple STL models to one .idea group file. If your scale is too large for the 3D print bed, you must section it your model into manageable pieces and submit multiple .idea group files. Our goal is to have the fewest groupings possible and to optimize the print bed by orienting and arranging our models.
