I drew this and it took me a good number of hours. When it comes to slicing it it is buggered and I cannot see why. It doesn't matter if I save as STL or OBJ and it buggers up with the Stratasys slicer and with Cura.
Is anyone able enough with STL files to tell me what is wrong?
Gives a couple of error messages then it sliced for me in slic3r? Here is last error message. Attachment 1738
See the blue highlighted bits below? You've got some holes in your mesh.

You are missing faces and what looks to be normals going in odd directions. Run it through netfabb cloud.Quote:

Learn how to fix it or you will most likely run into the same issue again, and you will be right round in a circle. If you don't know how you caused it when you modelled, then chances are you most likely will repeat the problem. Learn from your mistakes ;)Quote:

I don't know what you did to create the design... But when I run into this problem it is usually because I put two things so their edges are at the same location, but they don't intersect. Suppose I want to stick two 1x1x1 cubes together. If I put one at the origin and one at (1,0,0) I am going to have one face of each cube in the same location, but not actually intersecting. This has cause me problems again and again. If I put one at the origin and one at (.9999,0,0) everything will be fine.
It's nothing I did wrong. I fixed it by deleting all the fusions and cuts leaving all the primaries only then I joined them again and it is fine.
Printed and working, or it will be in about 5 hours. :)
