3D-Print Toolbox Plugin?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m debating if I should upgrade to ZBrush from ZBrushCore purely for plugin support, but right now I’m mainly using ZBrush for 3d printing personal art. I noticed that Blender has a plugin called 3D-Print Toolbox, and I was wondering: is there an equivalent plugin for ZBrush? I found something called “Draw Draft Analysis” but it seems like it’s a feature that’s exclusive to ZBrush and not available in ZBrushCore.

My main goal is to be able to easily find and correct for overhangs to minimize the need for supports in my prints. Being able to see a heat map of steep overhangs is very useful. If there is no existing plugin that does this, is it fairly easy to develop my own plugins for ZBrush?

hi @kumamushi,
I know almost nothing about 3D Printing, but did you check for some third parties utilities/ application that can display something similar that what ZBrush provide with Draw Draft Analysis ?

Also check Autodesk MeshMixer , it seems it has some mesh analysis tools but not like in ZBrush and with the blender addons.

Hope it Helps!
