## English peek (quoted from the live page)

Quoted from [https://softwaretraining.co.za/channel-letters-grid-characteristic](https://softwaretraining.co.za/channel-letters-grid-characteristic):

- Title: "Using the Grid Characteristic Feature Within PrintUP 3D Printing Software (Part 1)"
- Cover chrome: "channel letters grid characteristic"
- "When it comes to 3d printing different channel letters, they can very quickly become unstable."
- "So that being said, there are a few ways we can go about strengthening the structure, the Gird being one of them."
- "This video is part of a Mini-Series."
- "Next video covers Step."
- Tags on page: 3D Printing / AM.CO.ZA / AM3D / Channel Letters / Printing / PrintUp / PrintUp 3D

## How to use the Grid Characteristic (from this page)

The live page body is short; the on-page "Video Transcript" block is the step source. **Raw auto-caption is not copied in full; no transcript invented.** Cleaned steps from that live block:

1. This Part 1 is the **Grid** characteristic in PrintUP, first of the Grid and Step Characteristics mini-series (body Mini-Series points at already-ingested INDEX WP **28618**). Characteristic features sit under the main menu.
2. Import a graphic first (the live block imports the AM.CO.ZA logo and leaves import settings as before).
3. The live page says 3D-printed channel letters can become unstable; the Grid adds a floor lattice so tall letters do not fall in on each other.
4. Select the object, then **Characteristic > Add Grid** on the main menu.
5. Grid settings on this page: **grid height** and **grid density**. Recommended standard quoted on the live block: **1 millimetre** grid height and **3%** grid density.
6. After OK, a grid is added at the bottom. A higher density (the live block demos about **20%**) makes a finer grid and more cleanup when cutting.
7. To remove it: **Delete Grid** (the live block also notes you can skip the grid if you already have your own support).
8. The live closer also names softwaretraining.co.za search (top right) and the on-site request-a-training-video form if a video is missing.
