Hi!

Are there any tools that can help me cut a model in halves to print (to fit on my bed)? I have it in OpenSCAD and as an STL. I'm trying to avoid just using subtraction with appropriately sized rectangles.

Thanks!

If you are on windows download netfabb for stls

Free version is all you need

Slic3r allows you to cut objects at a Z value that you specify.

What is the reason for not using Openscad itself to do the job?

yes - exactly. If you have an openscad model, just superimpose a cube over the object where half of the object is inside the cube and half is outside.

then you can do a difference to get one half and an intersection to get the other half.
