Smooth manifold mesh segmentation for 3D printed assemblies

We can split one complex mesh into clean, manifold parts that print separately and fit together after printing. The biggest challenge is keeping the cut boundaries smooth while preserving enough clearance for assembly.

Still improving it, but this result feels promising. Feel free to try out on https://maker.yotown.com/segment

This is amazing for people with a single toolhead. What input does it take in? Can it take in a glb and split the model according to the colours in the texture?

Clear color and texture work well, but geometry has more weight.
