Basic guide to kitbashing in the slicer

This is a basic guide to kitbhasing in the slicer.

Inspiration: I wanted to create a Tneeztch-themed peacock model with the tail spots (ocelli) with eyes.

Step 1: Find cool models

Step 2: Load them into your slicer

Step 3: Select both models

Step 4: Right click -> merge

Step 5: In the object menu (left), click a merged object. This is required before moving the objects. Otherwise the software will always drop the objects back to the build plate.

Step 6: Scale, move, and rotate until the objects overlap

Step 7: Rotate the camera around to ensure the overlap is actually overlapping. Adjust as needed.

Step 8: Slice and print as normal.

Here's photos of the process plus a bonus painted version from the army I'm making now.
