I wanted to print a figurine for a D&D game I’m in, so I loaded up the 3D model, hit print and watched the printer turn a hero into a spaghetti monster. A big mess on the first print.

We’ve seen a few different ways to add textures to 3D prints, including using Blender to modify model surfaces. Textures can enhance the look of a model, and are also a good way to hide layer lines.
