We are going to use the Meshmixer Plane Cut make a lateral cut, splitting the top from the bottom. You can pull on the various axis points, or just type 90 in the Rotate X box in the inspector.
I like to make my object stand up in the correct orientation, so I go to the Edit button, and select Transform, then I rotate so it is the correct way up. When you start Meshmixer it will ask if you want to import a file or import pre-made objects, go ahead and import your STL file. It needs surprisingly few resources for simple objects, but obviously the more power your system has the better. You can get Meshmixer from Autodesk for Windows and Mac (sorry Linux!) here.
Let’s look how simple it can be in this quick video and tutorial! That is where Meshmixer comes in, it can load, modify and even delete parts of existing STL models, quickly and easily, and then export for 3D printing! Sometimes you can find an existing STL file to download that is almost what you need, but the simple modification tools of Simplify 3D or other slicers don’t cut it. Using Meshmixer takes your 3D printing superpowers to the next level.
