Import a File

Click on "New Project"

 

Option 1: Take your .stl or .obj file and drag it into the BAMBU workspace. 

Option 2: Go to File - Import and find your file.

Option 3: Use the Cube + icon in the top toolbar to add a file to your build plate. 

 

Move Tool

You can position your model in any way you like using the move tool, which allows the model to be moved along its X, Y, and Z axes. Use the handles or the number input field to move the model around the build plate.

 

Scale Tool

The scale tool allows the model to be scaled in three different ways – in millimeters, as a percentage, and with the handles in the 3D viewer.

Number Input Field - Can be used to set the exact model size in millimeters.

Percentage Input Field - Can be used to set a percentage of the original model.

Uniform Scaling - This will ensure the model’s proportions are consistent while scaling.   

Rotate Tool

The rotate tool allows the model to be rotated on all of its axes. This is particularly useful to reduce the amount of support needed or to increase the model’s footprint for better build plate adhesion.

Rotate Tool - Rotate about the origin of selected models.

Reset - Reset all rotations of the selected models.

Lay Flat - This will lay the model flat on the closest flat surface of the model.

Rotate Hoops - Drag these hoops to rotate the model on the selected axis.

Degree Indicator - Indicates the current rotation.
