I sliced and printed a very similar idler (the only difference was that it had the little guide for the filament going into the extruder body) with slic3r 0.57 and actually printed out the two little arches that you have visualized there (the output code looked perfectly fine in the pronterface window). I have only recently completed my prusa and wasn't sure where the problem was, so I imported the STL (I believe it was the whole one that has the body and idler to print together) to blender, separated the objects, deleted the body, made sure it was at z=0, re-saved, sliced, etc, and it printed no problem. It was a bit of a hassle, but worked, nonetheless.

I have encountered other issues trying to print Emmet's screweless heart gears (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12208) and the super awesome mustache ring (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5123). It doesn't like to slice the required circles properly (I either wind up with what looks like a capital D with a tail on it, or two parabolic arcs superimposed onto one another), but I'm not sure that it relates to the idler printing weird. Either way, I'm pretty sure my other issue is known (I've read several posts about spirals or other artifacts where circles should be), so I will either try to work with skeinforge or check them out with the netfabb app.]]> chef Slic3r Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:22:24 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114598,115524#msg-115524 Re: Objects that Slic3 incorrectly https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114598,115524#msg-115524 Pointedstick Slic3r Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:38:03 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114598,115257#msg-115257 Re: Objects that Slic3 incorrectly https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114598,115257#msg-115257 -------------------------------------------------------

hi Sound,
the netfabb thing finally did it ;-)
struggled to get a wade extruder body from openscad stl export through slic3r. on meshlab i didnt succeed to
find the appropriate filters combination, also the GUI tends to crash on my machine atm. clean/repair also works on the free netfabb studio basic.
what are they doing different ?

is there any recommended sequence for meshlab ? also just discovered 'meshlabserver' which
can just run filter scripts with no GUI. maybe we should make a script ...
