Hi, I’m trying to get this to slice in cura 5.6.0

Yellow block is set as a cutting mesh. Can Cura just not ignore stuff outside of the bulid area?

iso top bottom

I’m open to suggestions on how to cut it outside of cura as well. I tried meshmixer, but the import absolutely destroys the stl stl iso

Thanks!

    Here’s how I would do this in blender:

    1. Import the stl
    2. edit the default cube so it overlaps the part of the stl you want to delete
    3. add a “boolean” modifier to the stl that is set to “subtract” the cube
    4. apply modifier
    5. export as stl

      Can even use cylinders to group some circular parts of the model together naturally so that the “glue” points are at the bottom inside the walls where they’re not obvious
