Go to printer and paper settings and then select "Show lines clearly".

Did the trick for me.

They're called Edge IDs. Enable then in the 2D menu.

 

[Kenneth]

thanks.now only ifi knew how i should print these out to be big enough to make a helmet lol

 

[Deadmau5]

I can't get edge IDs to work for me.

I have the edge Id option thing checked in the "other settings" window, but it still won't print out the edge ids on the figures..

I was curious at to the preference of Hot Glue Guns, I know we should use the low temp guns, but I've seen them in large and small, so I was curious as to what the preference is on size.

I have a feeling that with Small you can be more accurate with the glue and you wont accidently use more glue than you wanted. Would anyone else agree?
