Transform Your Prints In Seconds With Easy 3D Texture

[@Special_FX]

I came here from another video talking about adding texture cuz a wall tile im printing in vase mode warped/bowed outward a bit and they didnt say if you could block the texture on the front/sides. This video is even better, shorter and explains it much simpler. Thanks!

[@collinscompletemedia979]

Any way to export to a STL file with the texture applied ?

[@sandeepmalpani4137]

Hello. Just wanted to share an update. I found out that with blender it is possible to export the STL file with the texture on it. I could even resin print the part with the leather texture and it all came out fine. There are a few tutorials on youtube one can refer to for same. This is the one I followed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKjUp62BaNadr9U Hope it helps. Reply

The best modelling for 3D prints. Many thanks to you.

Oh heck yes! I've been meaning to take a look at this!

[@3DMakerNoob]

definitely worth your time, shame it can't be applied to Resin, the results would be mind blowing

[@vasili1207]

Erm why can't it be done to resin...? It's called vector displacement and I been doing it for years.... how do you think 3d sculpters get fabric and skin pools on there models.. Uv unwrapped then apply the displacement to said Uv. Bro learn to model throw cad in the bin

is there a way to export it out as STL? i just need to add texture to stl. then print and slice it at cura

Nope. It's a a slicer function. So, you can't export it as STL.

Thank you very much Sir! It's still relevant and helpful 3 years later. I used to use blender to get textures... Your solution is much better and effective. Pretty instructive and a good pedagogy as well.

[@MrGTAmodsgerman]

As someone who knows alot about game model creation, i want to have an option to import OBJ files with they UV map and its material set. Because that would allow me to get really perfect results of the textureing and at the same time the materials, to mix multiplie textures on one model. And one that doesn't use any texture if needed.

[@vasili1207]

Uv's are never perfect. Download blender ..

[@dim1723]

[@RealDaveWinter]

I guess this features is handy for extremely simple displacements, but anything more than a simple Cube or Cylinder UV projection and you still need to use a displacement modifier in your 3D modelling package - which really, is going to be 90% of the time.

[@TheWizardcomputer33]

Displacement modifier how? Could someone explain?

[@TitanSR3]

hello! im slightly confused, are you able to pull back out the textured stl files for use in other programs aswell? or does it have to be printed through idea maker now?

[@DiP2011]

Nope. It's a a slicer function. So, you can't export it as STL.

[@TimPiatek]

Can you export the STL with the modified texture? Asking because IdeaMaker doesn't support my printer.

[@DiP2011]

Nope. It's a a slicer function. So, you can't export it as STL.

[@TheDIYer]

we could make a stl with this ? and then use a non planar slicer to give better surface on flat prints like the last lion you showed?

[@jasongarnett2191]

Finally a program that does texturing easily.

[@paulonatali5614]

Can you select which faces or portion in a surface to receive the texture ? Or just apply to whole surface ?

[@vasili1207]

He won't reply because he don't know. You need to make apply the displacement on a Uv texture map that will isolate it to that portion of the model. Download blender and that's all you need

[@aaronramly1705]

Wow ! Thank you. Save my time so much. Thank you again

[@pirobot668beta]

Velocity Painting does something similar. Grey-scale images are used to post-process gcode to modulate print-speed. By running each line with fast and slow bits, the texture of the surface is altered. No actual image-mapping displacement, but a nice effect. It can be pretty subtle, so Lithophanes still need to use thickness. With PETG, this can alter how transparent an area might become: slow printing give a more 'glass like' finish, faster has a hazy frosted effect. Hazy text on a glassy background really stands out!

[@3DMakerNoob]

I know what velocity painting is, I’m the one that had helped mark showcase it on the channel to turn it into an app :)

[@mohammadareeb1794]

4:44 why did you print it vertically? And why don't the flat models project texture correctly when printed horizontally?

[@johnslugger]

*I like 'FUZZ' but they never tell you it will take twice as long to print.*

[@moisted]

After you apply the texture, how do you export the STL? ... Do you have to print in IdeaMaker? It doesn't support BambuLab printers.

[@dougaltolan3017]

STL export was added in version 2.10 in Feb 2016. The current manual does and dosent say it can.. Bizarre! There are many replies here from one person that says it can't.. Maybe it was removed.. It's free to download and use, so I think, just give it a try and see.

I am new to 3d printing but have been using AutoCAD for over 25 years. I have been designing a pump station in Revit and want to 3d print it. If I assign a texture in Revit, will it print the texture or do I have to create the texture using another program?

[@eusouocara23]

Does that slicer work with presa printers?

[@TKs3DPrints]

hmmm.. now if i save out a obj that has a texture map will it wrap the texture on the model as i saved it. or will it tile the model. i will have to download and try. this could be a great way to save models that are low poly and then add the details via the texture map :)

[@3DMakerNoob]

object is only exported to gcode. that is when the texture is added, so saving as OBJ would only yield the original stl

[@TKs3DPrints]

@@3DMakerNoob yes but if you save the texture map out as a gray scale then import the texture to wrap around the stl its kind of the reverse of what i do with the models i create when using photogrammetry when i used to do the scan the world models for myminifactory after making the model i used to export the texture as a gray scale and then import the model into zbrush then import the alphamap and use it to add and bake the displacement map to the model giving it a boost on the details. just wondering if this way could remove the need for zbrush etc.

[@colbylippincott7173]

I asked about this feature and they said you need an obj file with the texture material and mapping files in the same folder. I have found it very difficult to make this file using solidworks, which can't export obj files with the texture included. The ideamaker team said they are working on making it compatible with .3mf or .amf files I believe, which would be awesome! Because I have some models that just stretch the texture out a lot and make it look uneven.
