Just went to fix a file from Thingiverse. Looks like MS decided to screw this one time very good site up royally. You now upload your .stl, it gets fixed and then you're presented with a .3mf file to download. I tried simply changing the extension to .stl, but no go. Oh well...
Have you tried this?
I would suggest that you edit your 3D files using meshlab or blender, if you know how to manually edit 3D designs. If not,I would recommend you try https://makeprintable.com/ it's cloud-based repair tool and you can download the fixed file in STL or Obj format
Yep, it's so funny. Simplify3D imports the converted-to-stl with no problem. You can look the model over with no problem. You prepare to print and Simplify3D shuts down every time...Quote:

Ok, so here's the work around... Fix in Netfabb online, and then convert it from 3mf to stl with Netfabb basic. One extra step, but hey... it works...
which version of s3d are you using ?
The latest, always... (3.1.0)
Thank you for thisQuote:
