Thanks for the tip. I'd tried to repair with another program, but it wasn't up to the job.

Blender says this file is manifold, but S3D says it isn't. Can someone verify which is correct and advise a course of action?

I've seen dozens of posts referencing G-code changes to compensate for the addition of a glass build plate.
Why don't the authors reference the G-code tab in the Process Settings? Won't either changing the Global offset or the toolhead offset do the job?

This file is part of eNable's device libraries, so I can't address the tolerances or "weirdness" in the holes. While I can tinker with the mesh in Blender, I don't have any insight as to why S3D says it is OK but really can't work with it. I gather that you believe the geometry is poorly c...

RtSHBracer.stl The attached file renders properly in Blender and FreeCad, and is manifold. Simplify3D agrees that the file is manifold, but does not render both shells, i.e. S3D shows only a shell, and generating supports doesn't work. This is the only manifold file with which I've had a problem. A...

One more thing: I don't have two objects to import, just one. When the first import gave bad results, I used the other program to export an stl file, which also gave a bad result. Prior to this, I haven't had any problems importing stl files modified by FreeCad or Blender.

The Model Settings>Object Dimensions are as they should be. However, the image doesn't match those dimensions When the import screen opens, the object fills most of the screen. Using "Scaling" changes the size of the displayed image, but the object dimensions display remains the same.

Neither of the stl files fit when loaded. They both turned the window yellow. By dropping the scale down below 0.1, the object would fit on the build table. However, since the displayed dimensions never changed, I have no idea what scale would result in the correct printed dimensions.

I've seen earlier posts that probably are related to what is happening to me. I've exported stl files of an object from FreeCad and from Blender, both programs reporting units in mm. Upon import, Simplify3D says "Can not auto arrange. Largest part exceeds build dimension." However, the Obj...
