combining STL files

3DDruckundDesig · 2016-03-04T14:03:13.000Z

Hi all,

I am facing problems with combining 2 STL-Files. With Meshmixer the surface gets ugly, Blender does not the work, art-of-illusion does not work and netfabb-Basic is also not working. What can i do? The combined sections are not sliced in the right way with Simplify3D. The view in blender looks OK. where am I making mistakes?

Thanks for any input.

Alfred

Hello Alfred,

Can you show us the .STL files or a screenshot of them?

Kind regards,

Adwin

I find that if I have two objects overlapping in Blender and export to STL, the object is terrible in Slic3r and Cura (though Cura is better).

Turn on wireframe mode and see if there are vertices and/or faces inside of the object (instead of just on the surface). These can cause portions of the surface to not be printed. I had a piece with two legs that come together at the bottom and the overlapping portion was “missing” when rendered in Cura (layers mode) or in Slic3r.

Use the 3D Printing Toolbox for Blender and it will help to find and, in some cases, remove these problem areas.
