PrintBatch — 3D Print Kit Publisher & STL/3MF Packager for Blender

riccardo scuto in Modeling


Do the 3MF files open in my slicer?
The writer declares millimetre units and the output is understood by Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer and other spec-compliant tools; it is roughly 70% smaller than STL on dense meshes. A few specialised tools expect a full build plate and may refuse a geometry-only 3MF - PrintBatch always writes the STL alongside.
The slicer says my mesh is not watertight. Is the kit broken?
No. The preflight reports open borders or double edges, which are very common in game and render assets. PrintBatch reports them instead of silently repairing (repairing would change your art). Many props slice fine as-is; for functional prints, close the shells in your modelling tool first.
My parts arrive 1000x too big or too small. What happened?
The unit profile does not match your scene convention. Blender's default metric scene is 1 unit = 1 metre, while slicers read files as millimetres - the classic x1000 mix-up. Pick the right profile in the Units box, or press "Fix Unit Scale" when the red scale check appears. For print miniatures of real-world props, use "Custom multiplier": 100 turns a 0.96 m prop into a 96 mm model (1:10).
Does it modify my models?
Never. All exports run on temporary copies; your scene, meshes and materials are untouched. It is safe to run on work-in-progress files.
Is PrintBatch a slicer?

 No. It prepares and packages your files; slicing stays in your slicer

(Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Cura...). PrintBatch makes sure what

arrives there has the right names, the right size in millimetres and the right

folder structure.
