2. Gather your STL files. These can be found across the internet. MyMiniFactory and cults3D are my preferred places to obtain STL files.
3. Assemble your STL files together in Blender. Learn how to do that here.
4. Import your assembled STL file into Lychee. I personally pay for the premium version - but you can make do with the free one. I highly recommend supporting their work and paying for premium, though.
5. Measure, arrange, support and slice your model in Lychee.
6. Load your sliced file into UVTools. Learn how to download and install UVTools here.
7. Detect and fix all issues with multiple passes in UVTools. Learn how to do that here.
8. Refer to the link in step 7 above for further explanation.
9. I suggest adding _SUPPORTED to the file name of your freshly repaired UVTools file to ensure you know it's been properly supported and is ready for printing.
10. Adding _SUPPORTEd to file names you share helps you know which ones you've fully prepared in UVTools and lets your friends know they're ready for printing.
Note: Do not share files with your friends unless you have permission to do so. Editing and assembling custom models should be protected under fair use legislation.
