When I highlight the entire object and create an stl file for printing -again all seems ok

The mesh was then 'embedded' into the ring.Įverything looks fine, when I rotate the object about in all planes I see exactly what I want. Drew up a base ring for it to sit on and in inserted into fusion360, modded the ring extruding sections sections to create my required base with fixing lugs etc. started with an imported scan of a very thin walled hollow object. I am using a combination of Autocad 2017, Fusion 360 and Meshmixer. Tell me what I am doing wrong or better still help me fix it. So pleeeeease please someone out there take pity and help me out. To solve this issue without any progress,(I hate to add up the wasted time)

You need to zip up files into an archive to attach them here.I am a real beginner, so apologise in advance if I am doing something so totally obviously wrong to you experts out there, but I have been trying for months, with hours and hours a week Be aware that the forum only accepts a very limited number of file types, stl not being one of them. If you want further help then you are going to have to attach the model you are trying to print. Depending on the model that can take days, sometime to the point where its quicker to remodel the thing from scratch. When that happens then a human needs to go in and fix the model. For others though that the automatic best guess software cant fix it can remove bits completely. For slightly broken models that is often enough to make them printable. If not on Win 10 then the Netfabb repair service is available online. If you have slicer installed on Windows 10 you can right click the model and try the repair through Netfabb option. So no holes that would lead in to the internal geometry. In case you are unfamiliar with the term 'manifold' means the model must be solid, ie think of it as watertight. They look good on the surface which is all thats required for rendering on screen. This is very common with models that are not designed for 3d printing but for use in a game.

RE: Game model coming from blender looks good in both fusion 360 and PrucaSlicer, until i click slice now, when the model becomes unusable
