How to split and assemble oversized models that exceed build volume — with design tips.

Quick answer

Models larger than the printer’s build volume are printed in several parts and assembled. Cut along less visible faces and add alignment features such as pins or slots; the quote is the sum of each part’s material and print time.

When should a print be split?

When the part exceeds max build size, or when orientation/supports/material waste improve with segments.

Split design tips

Cut on less-visible faces and add pins, slots, or bolt bosses so alignment stays accurate.

Bonding and assembly

Choose adhesives or fasteners that match the material, and keep load paths away from split planes when possible.

FAQ

How does splitting affect the quote?

Each piece is printed and totaled. You reduce the risk of losing one huge failed build.
