Re: Errors when printing part

An alternative to try if you use Windows 10.....

Load the stl file into the Windows app 3DBuilder. If it prompts to repair the file....which I think it will do....answer Yes, then Save as a 3mf file of the same name. Note you'll not be allowed to save it as a n stl file. Finally load the 3mf file into S3D.....and the shape will probably slice correctly.
