Strength
- [Instructor] This video is on the Strength tool. A somewhat useful tool, but not entirely useful for actual aspects of 3D printing, but it is good informational tool, that helps you analyze places in your model that might be a little bit weak. So go under Analysis, to Strength. So what happens here is your model is analyzed for places that would be prone to flexing in certain bad ways. So zoom in here, I'm going to hover my mouse over here, press C to center my view to go in here. So you can see that it goes to red, to yellow, so this part is larger than this part, and then goes back to larger, so this is the area of most flex. If you actually click your mouse and drag different places, it shows you where in the model the flex would happen in the weakest way. So if you click right here, this part of the model right here is most susceptible to flexing in this direction. So if you were to push on the top of the ear in this direction, or this direction, that would affect this space…
