[SOLVED] Identical Model Not Supported?

I have a situation where I have identical models (mirror images) on the bed where one model gets supports but the other doesn't?

Re: Identical Model Not Supported?

It would be easier to help if you included your factory file

Re: Identical Model Not Supported?

You need to run your models through one of the stl repair services. Some of the faces are inside out, which stops the auto support generation from working.

Re: Identical Model Not Supported?

Thanks for the suggestion as it is now applying support everywhere you would expect it to. I thought the strange display of some of the faces was just a glitch especially when Cura seemed to not have the same problem.
