Cutting a 3D STL file into Pieces to 3D Print?

[RitzLLS]

Can anyone please explain how I can cut an STL model into pieces so that I don't need to print it all out in one go? I use blender, and I can't figure it out for the life of me. Can someone please provide me with some steps?

I don't know how to do it in Blender, but there are other programs that would allow this. Have you looked at MeshLab? NetFabb? There are others too, but they aren't free.

Netfabb studio basic has an easy to use slicing function you can use to do this.

You may use Meshmixer app available at http://www.123dapp.com/meshmixer.
It has plane cut functionality to cut STL model.
