Printing nets without edges?
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2020 11:50 pm
Hello, I recently bought Stella 4d and I am greatly enjoying it!
Is it possible to print the nets in such a way that only the vertices appear as points, instead of the full line for the edges? It's definitely easier to make the models scoring along the edges, but I sometimes end up smearing the ink around, and I find it more sightly without that. I'd also prefer not to see the concave edges as printed lines. For my last model, I printed the nets on standard printer paper and then copied the patterns onto the colored cardstock by pricking the paper on every vertex of the nets. I was very happy with the results, but it was rather time consuming, and I think I could get equally good results just from printing the points I need -- the ink would be minimal.
