Hello,
I’ve made 3d model of helmet in 3ds max by polygon method, so walls have 0 thicnkess, How I can add to the helmet some thicnkess? I recently used shell modify, but this time some reason it dosn’t quite work, not only add some distortion to model, but when I divide object to smaller parts to fit them into the printing bed, it make some gaps in layers when I slice it in Simplily 3d, There are some alternative method for adding some thickness? So many people are making 3d printable helmets, there’s must be more easier way to do this : )
