Anyone have any idea what would cause this? Why is there a layer missing?! I planned on printing this but I don’t want it to just break or something…
Have you run the stl through a repair program?
@Matt_Barth nope. Didn’t know there was such a thing. I decided to print this anyway and it came out fine. Weird…
Open it in slic3r and check the model.
I had have a similar case. In my case it caused in my google sketch, i missed to clean up my model from not needed lines. While export to stl and slicing to g-code there was it coming up to many of such issues. In my case i deleted all not needed Lines of my 3D Objekt and then it was fine.
Was it like that when you made it? Cura’s kinda stupid like when you try combining something together and it keeps going apart. That is exactly what happened to me too. Yet, it automaticlly scaled the size smaller than I need it to be.
I suggest you to try Importing the stl model to another CADing application and make that layer. Ecxept Google Sketchup is unable to import an stl file. But only sketchup files (.skp).
If it came out fine, that, it wired. It might be a glitch in Cura.
@Blueberry_Tech Yeah, idk what was going on. I’ve never seen that before. The part did come out fine though so it must have just been a glitch.
Kevin may you right but may it was just luck.
@Blueberry_Tech you can Import stl to Google SketchUp if you install one off the stl import/export add ons from the warehaus.
Meshmixer’s Analysis --> Inspector is also good for a quick fixing pass. For more advanced fixing use Meshmixer’s Edit --> Make Solid command.
@BEN_3D Sorry but I’m totally getting confused about this.
@Blueberry_Tech here a youtube Tutorial to Import stl to Google Sketch up https://youtu.be/psDbZ0S_epE
@BEN_3D That helps! The stl problem is solved. Solved just @ 0:22
