Tutorial 12: Voronoi Enclosure

Build a tall hollow slab (Voronoi-celled) and a thin floor plate from the same bed centre, then Mesh Merge—a simplified enclosure pattern from the plan (one perforated wall + base instead of four rotated walls).

Prerequisites

Tutorial 8 (Voronoi + extrude)

Step 1: Wall and base

Step 1

Two rectangle branches

On bed center, create Voronoi 2D from a first Rectangle; extrude tall for the celled body. On the same centre, a second Rectangle (slightly larger) extrude short for the base slab.

Step 2: Merge

Step 2

Mesh Merge to Output

Mesh Merge a ← wall mesh, b ← base mesh → Output Preview mesh. Inspect Z alignment so the wall sits on the base (adjust extrude distance / rectangle sizes).

Outcome

One STL with two components merged—split in the slicer if you want separate print jobs.
