Netfab says stl is ok, slic3r makes a monster out of it. I beg you

I modeled this thing in rhino, I managed to get a good export from Netfab but Slicer is not reading it as I see it in Netfab.
Please help me...I've been struggling with this for a week now and can't find what is wrong.

Ok stl from netfab : http://postimg.org/image/3ve0foy1t/

Monster from slic3r: http://postimg.org/image/cp4wwsl0h/

Also, can you please tell me if netfab+slicer is an ok software combination? Should I look into something else?

If you can post the .stl file then I'm sure someone will try and fix the file for you.

I use NetFabb all the time but unfortunately it's not right every time.

PrintB.it

The netfabb Cloud Service fixes a lot of problems that netfabb Studio Basic doesn't even see!

I tried using it now and it's still not enough. Thanks a lot for telling me about it, though!

Your STL file is a mess, even the netfabb Cloud Service couldn't fix it!

I exported the stl from rhino, but previously, I checked the mesh there and it said it ïs a good mesh".
I now tried opening it in Kisslicer and it looks normal but it exports something monstrous again. What am I doing wrong?

Look at it with netfabb Studio Basic.
The STL file is garbage and neither netfabb Studio Basic nor netfabb Cloud Service could fix it!

I could be your version of Rino 3d has a bad STL export code or your setting for the STL export are wrong.

I am looking at it in netfab studio basic...

When looking at the STL file that you attached to your first post in this thread I see:



If you now have a different STL file then please post it.

This is one that looks decent when I open it. Is it the same for you?

thank you very much for your help and time!

... the last one seems to be correct, no weird normals or skewed parts

Try this one!


I ran it through the cloud.netfabb and netfabb Studio Basic.
If this one doesn't work then I am out of ideas...

this is how it looks like when I try and slice it. Does Slic3r read it correctly for you?

Thank you everyone for your help!

... had no problems with slicing the unchanged 010.stl and Repetier ...

time to reinstall ALL OF THE SOFTWARE.

thank you for your help!

How do you locally fix .stl files? *Much* prefer commandline approach. I have problems with dissappearances in slic3r.(with both outputs from openscad and implicitscad, the latter still seems superior to me) I dont want to put such problems in uploads. And they can probably be compressed a bunch too. Stuff like:

meshlabserver -i file.stl -s ~/.meshlab.d/simp.mlx  -o file.stl -om vc vn

.. doesnt seem to do anything. I do think i know how to make the script, just apply filters and then save the filter script?

But even if that script worked, though i do know some stuff in meshlab that works for me(a lot of them crash meshlab) and simplifies, but i havent been able to find a set of transformations that fix the object.

Of course, there is still the possibility that there is a bug in slic3r.
