Re: Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

Thanks this is the formula I was looking for. That can be of great help evaluating the model. When your modeling a design for print just keep in mind that any wall has an inner and outer surface. Thats 2 extrusions. Your extrusion width setting is actually what controls if it prints or not so try no...

Re: Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

Thanks for this suggestion, I did the mesh repair and still the legs disappeared, the best solution was to adjust the wall thickness, the tolerance in S3D is lower than in other software, or to put it the other way, S3D calculates better, and isn't that forgiving. The CAD design has to be spot on. I...

Re: Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

Problem solved! Indeed changing the design, bigger legs does the trick. Good to know that wall thickness can be an issue in S3D. Perhaps some calculation formulas for this? Or an error display in the software? That could be very helpful. Topic can be closed. Thanks for all your help and support. Let...

Re: Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

Thanks changing the nozzle size in does the trick, in the software, but how can I print the part using S3D? What settings can be tweaked to get it right? Still I have .4 nozzle, I suppose setting it to .2 won't get a right print. Or am I wrong? In the attachment is the FFF file PLA 0_06 chair.fff . ...

Re: Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

I've checked the Non Manifold edges and there aren't any in that particular part of the model. Also used repair however the missing part stays. I'll check the wall thickness, suppose that is the best possibility, thanks! Most likely a problem with the STL. In the main screen, use the "Repair&qu...

Re: Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

This is the 3D file. Works fine in Cura.

Strange, parts disappear in the preview and print mode

I've been experiencing the following issue. I've made a design, simple straight forward chair and when the model is loaded all is fine Schermafbeelding 2015-06-19 om 17.57.28.png , Schermafbeelding 2015-06-19 om 17.56.28.png . No strange things to see. However when I go to the print preview screen p...
