There are a variety of software programs and online services you may use in helping you bring your creations to life. Here is a list of some of the programs we have used. Deltaprintr does not endorse or offer support for third-party applications.
Netfabb #
A great tool for cleaning up and repairing models. Sometimes you may notice that although the model looks fine in 3D when imported to Cura, it does not slice properly. Certain layers may be missing or holes may be closed when viewing the sliced layers. Sometimes you will also notice that your printer constantly crashes in the same exact spot, this may be because the Gcode that was generated is not correct. Netfabb’s free online model repair is usually able to fix these problems.
Fusion 360 #
