Slic3r Help! January 28, 2014 11:19PM |
Registered: 10 years ago Posts: 9 |
Hello everyone!
I need some help with my g-code generator Slic3r.
As you can see from the picture attached, I've loaded a 5 mm X 5 mm X 5 mm cube to Slic3r.
But for some reason, it seem to consider the cube to be flat!
I needed to increase the scaling to 1000% (which I shouldn't need to)
But still it only says the size of the print is 0 X 0 X 5 mm.
And yet the volume is 125 mm cubed.
What is going on???
Thanks for the help!

What software did you use to create the cube?
In the 3D software the faces have what are known as "normals". That's the inside and outside of the faces. Make sure all vertices are connected and all normals are facing outside. If you don't know anything about 3D modeling, then use Netfabb cloud services. [cloud.netfabb.com]

It looks like neither. More like some kind of hyper-dimensional object.
I'll attach some screenshots to this post...
Even if i try to spin it around, it refuses to make any sense. It does look somewhat like a cube though.

I don't think the 3D program really is an issue here. I've exported another file and it seem to view and process fine.
Blender is actually somewhat ill-equipped for serious 3D modelling, although it compensates for its amazing animation support and creations.
No chance of improving though. I have the faintest clue of what the problem is.

I have been having the same issue with Slic3r regardless of the program I use to produce the STL (solidworks and blender). To work around it, I use Repetier to plate the object and then generate the g code (Repetier actually uses Slic3r to produce the g code).
