Could someone help prepare this file to print? Hello guys, New to the forum, really great info on here but after extensive reading I have still having a hard time with meshes and booleans. I took a standard S4 Case, and added a front valence to it essentially, so it could be mounted in a box. When I try to export this file as an STL to be printed on a Dimension 1200 SST, (has a support structure, and model structure) I only get the valence and not the case behind it, or vice versa. I am using FreeCad so I could work at home, but we have solidworks as well as autocad on a few workstations. If someone has a spare moment and could please look at my file, and tell me what I am doing wrong? Or perhaps someone knows how to export my file correctly so that it will print all as one object. It would not let me attach the file, so I have uploaded it here: Thank you in advance for your help, and I apologize for inexperience, trying to impress some people at the moment :) Thanks, aga080 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,526537,526537#msg-526537 Sat, 10 Oct 2026 16:45:05 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,526537,527177#msg-527177 Re: Could someone help prepare this file to print? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,526537,527177#msg-527177 Plasteroid 3D Design tools Mon, 29 Jun 2015 07:13:47 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,526537,526537#msg-526537 Could someone help prepare this file to print? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,526537,526537#msg-526537
