Field notes

Its stated workflow combines geometry measurement, mesh checks, affected-face inspection, limited cleanup and report export, with a 220 mm FDM printer setting available on the page. The tool accepts models up to 50 MB, G-code up to 20 MB and files containing up to 500,000 triangles. It also warns that its findings cannot guarantee a successful or safe print.
