I'm trying to print another EZstruder for my second hot end from here: [www.thingiverse.com] Everything works well except for the EZStruder_-_70784_HEMA-1.STL file. This .STL is actually two pieces. The object is not manifold. I figrured this was on purpose and after printing I could separate the two. The slicing preview didn't look like that would work but I gave it a try. No go unfortunately. Am I missing something here as to how this is supposed to be printed? I tried importing the .STL into sketchup to separate the two halves and print them on their own. Unfortunately the walls of the two pieces are completely intermingled and would be a nightmare to try and separate from one another for someone with my limited 3D skills in sketchup. Any advice will be much appreciated. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527459#msg-527459 Thu, 16 Jul 2026 03:38:56 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527762#msg-527762 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527762#msg-527762
Then I looked to see if I could find the same spring the EZstruder uses and stumbled across the github for it:

It has the original .stl file from SeeMeCNC with the two halves together with the weird split in the middle that someone must have just uploaded to thingiverse. It also has the two halves already split. Wish I didn't waste my time doing that, but oh well.]]> PrintThings General Tue, 30 Jun 2015 21:14:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527624#msg-527624 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527624#msg-527624 PrintThings General Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:22:41 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527488#msg-527488 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527488#msg-527488 asbo General Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:52:25 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527459#msg-527459 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,527459,527459#msg-527459
