Hi, my name is Jan and I help companies by creating short videos for their websites and internal use, mostly as a freelancer for agencies. I post daily one-minute tutorials for Blender users and wrote the popular "Blender Secrets" e-books.
I suppose you could export it as an STL (maybe you’ll need to enable STL export in the preferences). Depending on what kind of printing I think it would require a lot of support struts, since the top extends over the base. But some 3D print software will add those automatically. Good luck!
Hey Luis, the Single Vert is an option from the “extra objects” or “extra mesh” (I forgot the exact name) add-on which comes with Blender by default. You may just have to activate the add-on in the Preferences.
Hello again Jan, This have been extremely useful. The thing is that I am going to 3d-print the tree, and I am making like a 3d puzzle of this tree (so it will have several pieces). So I have one more question: How can you cut the trunk of the tree itself? I have seen a bunch of tutorial about the boolean modifier, but it seems to don´t work on an object like the trunk (a mesh, of extruded single verts).
Hopefully you can help me with this one, I think then this 3-d puzzle would be finished!
Nice tip!
I like the tree even more between the 44th and 47th seconds. Useful for many humorous styles as a tree in the background, in my opinion. :-)
Thanks!
Hello, It seems very useful.
Can I export that file from blender into a .stl format to print it in a 3-d printer?

Jan, I am trying to follow your video, but it doesn´t seem that I have the option “Single Vert”—>”Add Single Vert”. How can I enable it?
Thanks a lot again!
