Exploded 3D printer
A desktop 3D printer, taken apart in mid-air and put back together, made from its full STEP assembly.

300
parts from the CAD assembly, each with its own path
One view, from lines to the final render





From CAD
The STEP assembly comes into Blender as meshes, and the materials, lights and camera are set up there.
The explode
Big groups come apart first, then smaller ones, then the screws, so the order reads clearly and you can see how the machine goes together.
