How can I edit an STL file for 3D printing?

You can edit an STL file using software like Blender, Tinkercad, or Meshmixer. What specific changes do you want to make?

I want to remove some parts and add a hole in the center.

In Blender, you can use the 'Edit Mode' to select and delete parts. For adding a hole, you can use the 'Boolean' modifier. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide the steps for Blender.

1. Open your STL file in Blender. 2. Switch to 'Edit Mode' by pressing 'Tab'. 3. Select the parts you want to remove and press 'X' to delete. 4. To add a hole, create a cylinder, position it where you want the hole, and use the 'Boolean' modifier on your object. 5. Apply the modifier and delete the cylinder. 6. Export your file as STL.

Thanks! Can I also change the size of the model?

Absolutely! In 'Object Mode', you can scale your model by pressing 'S' and dragging your mouse. You can also enter specific dimensions in the properties panel.
