You 'envision'? Be
specific when asking things, what are you using to design stuff.
Not that i can necessarily help. Stuff not slicing correctly is a pain in the butt. I try switching between implicitscad, openscad,(usually that doesnt take too much) using admesh, meshlab to try fix it, but it isnt fool proof. (Actually perhaps i should try narrow down some of the cases to see if there might be a bug in slic3r instead, in particular 'stuck at a height' for some linear extrudes with twist)
Also tried cura, which seems much more tolerant, but the gcode doesnt seem to play that well with my reprap. For some reason it moves the hot end up and then down, and then it gets (i think) an interference issue with the two z-motors.
Frankly not sure if .stl is even a good format..(from the perspective of the format itself not from how easily people can use it with current tools)
