Helloo everybody

I’m having bit of an issue when slicing this model with Simplified 3D. Model in the left shows bit of transparency when I open it with S3D. When I slice this one with supports , supports are not getting generated. I have used Cura and Slic3r but both slicers don’t create any issue. I need to create custom supports for this model and that is the reason why I need S3D for this instance. Any help in this regard is most welcome.

Hey there,

Try this. The normals in your original file were all flipped.

Cheers!

Hi AndyL

What is a software I should use to repair this. S3d repair tool didn’t work.

Hey Raj,

You’re very welcome. Glad I could help.

I use Netfabb basic. Takes a while to learn how to drive it, but it has most of the features you’ll need to get yourself out of tricky situations like this. If Netfabb doesn’t have a feature you need, you should be able to find it in Meshmixer or Meshlab.

I’d love to know what that little doc-hickey actually IS. It’s a very complex design.

Cheers!

Hi Andy, Thanks for your help. I really appreciate that. :slight_smile: These 3d models are fish lure design I’m printing for a customer. It comes in two halves. Cheers Raj
