How accurate is your Tina2 ?

Like any other 3D printers, it's important to spend some time at calibrating your Tina2 if you want to be sure to print accurate dimensional parts.
In this tutorial I'm gonna show you how to do this. Of course this calibrating procedure can also be used for any other 3D printer... and not just our beloved Tina2!

So if your printer doesn't give you accurate dimensional prints, go ahead and read further.

Rocket3F : The Missing Tutorials

Rocket3F is a great subdivision modeling software but it lacks tutorials.
I went thru all the R3F and Nvil tutorials and found out that several functionalities are hardly covered... when they are.
So I decided to write a few tutorials that I call "The Missing Tutorials".
They will be useful for me as a reminder (as I had hard time to figure out how some of these tools are working), but should also be useful to others including Nvil users.

How to modify a STEP file in DesignSpark Mechanical (tutorial)

On the DesignSpark forum many people are asking why a STEP file is locked and can't be updated when imported in DSMech.
And they are right to think that this is a very bad point !
I completely agree and I hope the developers will allow STEP modifications in future versions. DSMech will gain popularity if they do so !

But there's a solution and it's called SketchUp...

Edited 29/04/2014 : there's a much easier way as mentioned by Didier in the comments. Thanks Didier !

Remeshing in SketchUp (Tutorial)

Recently Gael uploaded the "Chest" parts for InMoov.

Among all the parts the plexus is made of two parts with the words "InM" and "oov" on them.
To create these parts he used a boolean operation in Blender.
But Blender didn't do a good job and the resulting parts were full of small artifacts and "spikes".

I then contacted Gael to ask him if he wanted me to try to do it better...
