Guys, I got message from Repetier....."the object is not manifold......." How can I fix it ? I have tried netfabb from microsoft , but it's very long time to finish... Any other ways ?

I can see :
Solid Accuracy, Mesh Density, Offset Distance, Min Thickness....

?? Which one ? thanks]]> bianchi Reprappers Mon, 09 Nov 2015 06:03:27 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581979#msg-581979 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581979#msg-581979 n8bot Reprappers Mon, 09 Nov 2015 04:30:23 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581889#msg-581889 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581889#msg-581889 bianchi Reprappers Sun, 08 Nov 2015 23:17:51 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581875#msg-581875 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581875#msg-581875 n8bot Reprappers Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:51:06 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581609#msg-581609 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581609#msg-581609
So I can use Autodesk Fusion 360 for editing it ? thanks...]]> bianchi Reprappers Sun, 08 Nov 2015 10:22:32 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581582#msg-581582 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581582#msg-581582
If netfabb can't fix the downloaded part, you may as well just redraw it yourself.

Meshmixer can be used to combine different parts into a single part, but I don't know how well it handles nonmanifold parts. If you're just trying to print multiple parts at the same time you can just add the stl files to the build platform in the slicer before you print.

Did you download the object from a page that didn't have a photo of the printed part? There are a lot of low quality part designs on thingiverse- the first clue to poor quality is a page that doesn't have a photo of the part. The second clue is an SKP file. If the original poster didn't/couldn't print it, you may have a hard time doing so, too.

Sketchup often produces nonmanifold STL files. If you're going to be doing a lot of 3D designing, switch to one of the other programs that works better. If you're used to sketchup, it is very easy to learn DesignSpark Mechanical, another free CAD program. I've been using DSM for about 2 years and can't recall it ever producing a nonmanifold STL file. Autodesk Fusion 360 is free and very good, too, but has a steeper learning curve.

The problem with Sketchup is that curves are never represented as curves- they are always polygons. That leads to all sorts of problems like the one you're running into. There are all sorts of work-arounds to get better results, but why suffer through learning all that trivia when there are real CAD programs that don't have those problems to work around?

I used to use sketchup- some of my thingiverse designs have skp files posted- but I got tired of having to process everything through netfabb to make it printable (my thingiverse STL files, even those that started as sketchup files, should print fine). I haven't had to use netfabb on my own designs since I switched to DSM when it first became available.]]> the_digital_dentist Reprappers Sun, 08 Nov 2015 09:30:10 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581562#msg-581562 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581562#msg-581562 How can I combine them ?

When I tested the downloaded part, I got this message already "The object is not manifold"...

How can I fix it ? thanks]]> bianchi Reprappers Sun, 08 Nov 2015 08:56:24 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581532#msg-581532 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581532#msg-581532 the_digital_dentist Reprappers Sun, 08 Nov 2015 07:21:46 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581516#msg-581516 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,581516,581516#msg-581516
