can't print stl file, not visible after "Prepare to print"

[ghi001]

Hi,

Using S3D for a couple of week without any issues.
But there are a couple of STL i can't print... I mean i open the STL, it's shown but when i click on prepare to print it does not appear....
e.g this file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/487 ... _brace.stl

I do not understand "why".....

Thanks in advance for your help

Works fine for me.. perhaps you should attach your factory file (File > Save Factory File)

Here is the Factory file.

Fabrik.factory

Prepare To print...

Thanks.

I have the same issue - no slicing possible.

It seems to be an issue inside the stl-file. While S3D doesn't find an issue, netfabb is able to repair what ever.

I have tried to repair with netfabb also, same result....

Wow, there's a lot of issues with that original STL file! How in the world was that even created? There's lots and lots of surfaces that are overlapping and bunches of triangles that don't match up. I'm amazed that netfabb can even repair it!

That being said, I tested the repaired part that horst.w posted above and it sliced fine.

.... I have nothing done than Upload > Repair > Downlod - and it was running.
