Hello to all! I am NEW to the 3D printing world and have read a lot so far and I have not even got my 3D printer yet!!
I have taken a 2D logo into an app and created a SVG file. Then into Blender to extrude it and turn it into a mesh object and save it as a STL. All good so far.
When I bring it into Cura and place a block under it and slice it, only the block has slices. So it seems to be while the imported 3d model has walls I am thinking that they have no width and thus can't be sliced. My question is then, how to I add thickness to something like this. I know it is not something that Cura would do but I am open to try other apps.
The logo when I bring it in has thickness in the letters and other graphics.. Might be something real easy but again I am at the noob stage.
Thanks for any and all help. (The logo I am working with is attached from a screen grab, the original is better quality)

CURA 4.8 - problems importing existing profiles
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
Good morning,
Just updated CURA from 4.7.1 to 4.8 and when I go to import the printer profiles I have been using I get a couple different errors. Wondering if these have been seen before and what I can do to fix it. Both seen to do with the 'quality type'. The printer is the Artillery Sidewinder X1.
The first error says, "Successfully imported profile...... Warning: the profile is not visible its quality type 'draft' is not available for the current configuration. Switch to a material/nozzle combination that can use this quality type.
The next one says "Failed to import profile from C:\...... , Quality type fast is not compatible with the current active machine type definition
