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?267,712112,712112#msg-712112 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 07:02:25 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,712112,714019#msg-714019 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,712112,714019#msg-714019 Roger123D Repetier Fri, 14 Oct 2016 23:38:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,712112,712112#msg-712112 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,712112,712112#msg-712112 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...
