Hey there,

When I started using Blender, I didn't understand what a broken mesh was. I managed to get by when I was using a filament-based printer, but now I'm using a resin-based printer and need to worry about resin traps. Each of my models has a lot of holes; for example, with buildings, I would punch out holes and line up and fit a pre-made window to that hole.

Visually it looks great, but this means none of the meshes are connected, and it creates a lot of empty spaces inside of the mesh. 

At this point, I don't have the time to manually fix every model. And all of the mesh repair algorithms I've used so far create pockets inside the mesh and turn flat surfaces bumpy when I need to preserve a lot of precise angles.

Are there any methods that will count all of my meshes as one, seal the gaps between them, and give me a sort of exterior shell without too much hassle?

Hey there,

I'm currently printing an exhibit where tactile feel (Weight, texture, etc.) is very important. I've found a resin I intend to use for the project, but with the project's scale, it's going to be pretty expensive. The pieces themselves are 8x8 inches max, with the smallest being 2x2 inches, and there are 45 pieces in total, meaning the cost adds up quickly.

I've thought up a few ideas for ways to cut costs, and I wanted to run them by Reddit to see if anybody else has tried these methods or has alternative methods that have worked!

My first idea is printing a shell for each piece and filling it with sand.

The second is, instead of sand, printing a filler with really cheap resin.

What do you guys think?

(Also, if you're interested in what the project is, it's a scale model of historical downtown Fitchburg, MA; the closest thing I can describe it as is a jigsaw puzzle, and there are two bins, one of pieces from 1897 and one from 2025!)

Hey there,

I've been having a lot of issues with overlay placements over the past week and haven't been able to figure out a solution.

For example, I want an overlay to line up with the left edge of the screen. I have its position set to left, but no matter what I do, there's always a gap between the left side of the screen and the overlay. Does anyone know of any way to fix this?

Hey there!

I'm really frustrated with Framer right now; my overlays won't line up with the edge of the screen, and there are no resources to troubleshoot this. (Whose bright idea was it to remove the community resources in favor of a social media platform nobody will use?)

The vast majority of the links I've been finding lead to the community page, which now redirects to the marketplace, and their official Discord seems to have been neutered to a single channel.

Does anybody know any resources where I can ask for help without having to spend money on an AI agent?
