Hello everyone.
I am currently creating a radio-controlled trimaran hull.
I have 2 half shells cut in the center by the length. I assembled the 2 parts and I recorded it in . SLDPRT.
Depending on the type of display style type, the connection between the 2 parts is visible or not.
Question: When printing, will the link line be visible or not?
Thank you
Hello
I would have imagined you working on a longship rather 
For printing, what you see on the screen will be visible on the paper. So in line mode the lines will be visible and so will your demarcation.
On the other hand, for a weld I would chamfer the edges to be welded, for a better weld (depends on the type of weld). Which would at the same time make the demarcation visible even without the line display mode.
Hello Sylk.
It is a 50 cm radio-controlled sailboat... Made of plastic.
The question I ask myself is: from the .sldprt I will create a Step file, to print the parts.will the joining line of the 2 half shells be visible?
Again, it will depend on the software used to print the steps, whether there is a " visible outlines" mode or not.
Hello, it depends on the settings of the slicer, some people neglect the junctions of this type and do the sewing.
Hello @Scofield as he was talking about the display style, I thought he was talking about paper printing... but you put me in doubt.
If he's talking about 3D printing (extrusion, to be exact) and the spacing between the edges is 0 then it's not even that the slicer neglects it, it's that for him it's simply the same face, so 0 visible seams.
If the spacing is greater than 0, it will seek to separate the edges. However, there is a setting in the slicer to define the max spacing to be considered as the same face, therefore to be closed: " Closing radius ".
Coin with a deviation of 0.5:
Sliced part with a smaller closing radius out of the way:
Sliced part with a closing radius greater than or equal to the gap:
Thank you both.
I'll do a print test on a one-centimeter slice when it's all over.
Have a good weekend friends.
