Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I've been trying to come up with a neat gadget print as a handout to clients and friends to show off the R Max's capability. (I'm open to suggestions).

I like Emmet's heart and cube gears as well as his transmission, but I have yet to be able to slice them with Slic3r. His STL files all seem to come in with problems ( not manifold error). Even after trying Netfabb repairs, I still get the same errors. If I allow Slic3r to slice anyway, some of the bodies disappear but the holes are sliced.

Kisslicer seems to slice it OK but I'm having different problems with running it's G-code...namely the extruder retracts the set 4mm, but does not return the 4mm to continued extruding. Like I said, that's a different issue.

I was wondering if anyone else could try his files and see how well they come into Repetier and Slic3r?

Emmet's heart files: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:243278
Emmet's cube files: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:213946
Emmet's transmission files: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34778 I haven't tried this on yet.

I sure would like to know it's the files and not me. The comments on Thingiverse all say they have no problems.

TIA,
Mark

ive sliced these with kiss and s3d no issues

that sure was a quick reply!

So have you recently done it? I know he's updated his files....

If they open OK for you, What am I doing wrong? A lot of my other downloads from Thingiverse have been fine.

Could it be a corruption in my software? I'm running Repetier v1.0.1 and Slic3r 1.1.7

Thanks

yea i did the heart gears 5-6 for my wife this year.

bubbasnow, would you be willing to download the heart 5-6 and try it with Slic3r?

Not sure what happened, but I updated Repetier to 1.0.5, loaded the original STL and after 5+ minutes it sliced OK.

I wasn't expecting a 20 hour pring with a 50% in ilfil and no support....

I'll post pics (much) later tomorrow.

Thanks
