    I'm relatively new to 3D printing, but tried using a Wanhao Duplicator 5S (which ended up not working). So I've purchased a Robo 3D R1+ and am awaiting delivery. Since it has a smaller build plate, how do I cut larger pieces (helmet measures 9"X6"X9" for example)? Seems Meshmixer has that feature but I'm not too adept at using it yet. I've also researched some and if using PLA you can use a 3D pen to join the parts together. Am I on the right track?

    I thought Netfabb was free trial then subscription. Is there another way for just free download?

    I know they were bought and a lot changed but I believe there is still a free edition

    If i'm not mistaken, after trial expires you still maintain access to all files and basic functionality
