Sketchup says the object is "solid" and NetFabb Studio basic says there are no problems, and Slic3r does not complain when slicing starts, but it crashes silently while generating perimeters.

Reproduced, I can't slice it at full size, but can slice it when scaled down to 30%, maybe there's a bug where something grows to large or goes out-of-range when trying to process the full sized version?

Edit : Am using version 1.0.0RC1

When I measure the original, it is showing a size of 1000mm (1 meter) x 300mm (30cm)

So this could be considered rather large and explain why it is taking my machine a long time to slice it?

Was the original designed as SI, then when opened as metric, it shows up as huge?

Thanks for your help...

I design most of my parts as 10x or 100x (in mm) and then scale when I load the STL in Repetier Host. I have been doing this with RH/Slic3r for almost a year. I doubt that the size, alone, is the problem. I need to slice it at 1/10 the given size, and this is what is failing.

SLic3r will not slice anything that is bigger than the build plate. It says something like "Object will not fit on the build plate" and exits.

The object, after scaling, is not bigger than the build plate. I sliced and printed a variation on this a few hours ago. This variation will not slice. Slice3r gives up without a whimper.

I am using the release of Slic3r that was delivered with Repetier Host 0.95F

Using V1.0.0 R2 and scaling your model to 10% I can slice it with my settings no problem. I have not tried with your settings though.

Wish I knew a work-around. Like which slicing parameter is causing the problem, or which aspect of the model is causing the problem.

Perhaps if you posted your settings, I could try to see how they differ from mine

Here is my pref file that I normally start with and may edit it depending on the print. This is the pref I sliced it with and it worked.

Your slicing parmeters work here, so there must be something problematic with the slicing parameters that I was using. Still, Slic3r should have reported an error rather than just terminating.

I had to change Perimeters from 1 to 2. Strange that this caused such a serious bug, with no error message from Slic3r.
