How to 3D Print the Diamond Painting Project

Instructions for Downloading, Slicing, and Printing Diamond Pieces

  1. Download the STL Files:
    • For each color listed, click on the "Download STL" link to download the STL file for that color.
    • The file will be named according to the number of pieces and color information, e.g., 2833_parts_2.5mm_color_239_237_234.stl.
  2. Prepare the STL Files in the Slicer:
    • Open your preferred 3D slicer software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer).
    • Import the downloaded STL files into the slicer.
  3. Clone or Multiply the Pieces:
    • Each STL file represents a single diamond piece.
    • To get the required number of pieces, you will need to clone or multiply the pieces in the slicer.
    • For example, if the instruction says 2833 pieces of 2.5mm, you need to clone the imported piece 2833 times in the slicer.
  4. Arrange and Slice:
    • Arrange the cloned pieces on the print bed as per your slicer's instructions.
    • Ensure that the pieces are well-distributed and not overlapping.
    • Slice the model to generate the G-code for your 3D printer.
  5. Print the Pieces:
    • Transfer the G-code to your 3D printer.
    • Start the print job and wait for the pieces to be printed.
    • Repeat this process for each color and size as listed.
  6. Assembly:
    • After printing all the pieces, assemble them according to your diamond painting pattern.
