Hello, I am new to 3d printing, I just got a flashforge creator which I am playing around now. My big problem: I get spurious (filled) layers in my builds: a) I have designed a spoked wheel with ac3d, exported it to stl (ASCII) and imported it into replicatorG 40 (skeinforge 50), where it looks ok. b) I have download a dummy engine, imported it into ac3d and proceeded as above. In both cases I get additional horizontal layers in the build so that in a) the spokes are not visible and in b) the crankcase is not hollow. I seem to get a filled layer whenever there is a horizontal face with a hole. Any help appreciated.

I recommend using the netfabb cloud service to correct the problems.]]> rhmorrison Skeinforge Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:31:46 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,422897,422981#msg-422981 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,422897,422981#msg-422981 edi Skeinforge Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:16:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,422897,422905#msg-422905 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,422897,422905#msg-422905 rhmorrison Skeinforge Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:02:48 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,422897,422897#msg-422897 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,422897,422897#msg-422897
