Inconsistent slicing
Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2024 1:29 am
Hello!
I've been trying for DAYS to slice a model (originally downloaded from the internet)... Every time I would start a new session and import the same STL file the result would be different with mostly missing layers (sometimes one at a time, sometimes up to a dozen!) for parts of the object, or parts missing... Changing layer thickness only moves the problem to different layers or different parts of the object.
I tried remodelling parts and checking normals and all but finally had to settle for the least faulty of the results I had. This seems a bit rich for a paying piece of software such as Simplify3D!
I've joined my STL (gcode won't fit, but I've included images : one showing missing layers, the other showing missing part) so you can try and point something obvious I've missed or tell me "works perfectly well for me...
Of course it's a printer that usually works (and anyway I could already see in the preview that it was a mess) and a process that usually works...
Thanks for your help!
