    I have a top secret project that I am working on and the models I need to print are too large for the R1+. I've tried slicing them, but they are fairly complex and frankly, I suck at slicing. Can anyone please help?

    If they are really complex you may need a better slicer.

    I've been using Meshmixer, but I'm not married to that. Any suggestions are welcome!

    Ditto. Try all the free ones first.
