Slicing error, missing part of model

Howdy,

I have a problem in generating Gcode for this classic piece : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:51806

One of the balls on the outer bearing of the 62 ball model will always be omitted for some reason. I tried generating it with the old Repetier for Leapfrog software and it does generate the full model.

The profile I was using was for the Creatr Leapfrog.

I have the Simplify 3D 2.1.2 version.

Any tips appreciated.

I just solved my own problem. All I had to do was rotate the model on its z axis 90° and for some reason whatever problem the slicer had with it seems to have gone away.

Too bad I was already well into printing a version with the missing ball. Oh well, next one will be good I guess.
