Fit any model to your printer
A robot 644 × 964 × 1000 mm, far too big for a normal print bed, cut into pieces that each fit. Choose your printer, pick Auto multi-plane and press Work out the cuts: Model Splitter works out how many flat cuts the model needs for every piece to fit, and spaces them out evenly. Then cut with pins, number the joints, and export every part in one go.

If a plane turns red after you move it, the piece next to it no longer fits your bed: move it back to shorten the piece. Best way up, just below Work out the cuts, tries every way of standing the model up and keeps the one that needs the fewest pieces. Keep clear at each edge, in the Printer panel, keeps every piece that far in from the edge of the bed (5 mm to start).
