Printing a model with gaps
I have a small model of irregular shape, that is make up of a number of parts that have gaps between them. I want to print it as one solid object whilst retaining the gaps between the pieces.
I can add a rectangular slab underneath that would do the job, but only if the slab was the same size and contour of the whole model.
If I could print a solid model (with the gaps filled) then I could use that as the underneath slab.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks.. - I've attached a zip file of the model Dog1
RE: Printing a model with gaps
Interesting question. In the brim setting under Print Settings, you can change the Brim to be internal. Play with that. I noticed that parts were now joined.
Or open the original file in blender or some other program and paint a single layer in the gaps.

Interesting idea - thanks - I did play with that but I wanted it much thicker and more solid, and I think I've found another (non-prusaslicer) solution.
The original came from a normal .jpg scan of the model and I simply then coloured a copy of the .jpg with a solid colour and then imported that with it. This gave me a solid base of exactly the same size that I can manipulate under the model. Works a dream !
Many thanks for your help..
