Weird behaviour from repetier/slic3r - not printing correct shape? June 15, 2014 08:18AM |
Hi guys
I've just made a pretty basic model in sketchup to make some camera mount brackets for a project I'm doing and something weird is happening between repetier/slic3r that I haven't seen before.
The model loads fine into repetier and this is how it looks (4 of them together):
Then after slicing looks like this. Note that the model shape is correct still, but the skirt it prints around the 4 of them is cutting through the models!
Then when it starts to print it is basically printing 2/3ds of the models. Ie the model has three straight pieces at a different angle to each other, but the print only has two pieces at different angles and misses the third piece/angle!
Don't seem to have any errors with the model that I can find so I'm confused. What have I done wrong guys?
Never seen this happen before.
Thanks!!
