Hi Folks, posting here and repetier sections. Repetier-host 1.6.2 + slic3r 1.2.9 I'm attempting to print a microscope adaptor - essentially a tube with a flange and some fancy bits at the top. Downloaded the part from thingyverse, prints just fine, but dimensions are off. slice, adjust, make whole and go again... except now the slicing does not work.... either the tube is filled in, or the support and part meld into each other with unexpected parting lines at the flange... much weirdness. same settings for slic3r on both parts. things I've tried. inverting the normals. repair in netfabb basic OBJ and STL recalculating the normals. reversing the spiral, redoing from scratch with different approaches... TBH, I suspect it's not a Slic3r thing... but I've run out of ideas to try... https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712111#msg-712111 Sat, 06 Jun 2026 18:30:16 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712216#msg-712216 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712216#msg-712216 the_digital_dentist Slic3r Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:41:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712212#msg-712212 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712212#msg-712212
What's the thingiverse link? What scale factors were you applying?

What does Slic3r show in its preview and 2D views?]]> frankvdh Slic3r Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:33:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712115#msg-712115 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712115#msg-712115
note most of the missing aren't modified triangles...

I'll try a few things, see if it helps.]]> bulwynkl Slic3r Thu, 06 Oct 2016 08:15:41 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712111#msg-712111 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,712111,712111#msg-712111 posting here and repetier sections.

Repetier-host 1.6.2 + slic3r 1.2.9

I'm attempting to print a microscope adaptor - essentially a tube with a flange and some fancy bits at the top.

Downloaded the part from thingyverse, prints just fine, but dimensions are off.

slice, adjust, make whole and go again...

except now the slicing does not work.... either the tube is filled in, or the support and part meld into each other with unexpected parting lines at the flange...

much weirdness.

same settings for slic3r on both parts.

things I've tried.

inverting the normals.

repair in netfabb basic

OBJ and STL

recalculating the normals. reversing the spiral, redoing from scratch with different approaches...
