Prepare a model for slicing

Keep the original source and the export.

Start here

Record units, orientation and the model version. Inspect the imported dimensions before creating supports or selecting a layer height. A filename alone does not prove the units or material assumptions.

Review the result

Inspect the generated toolpaths in your own slicer before using them. Shared source files are not ready-to-run machine instructions; never assume a stranger’s profile matches your hardware.
