thanks to both for the really useful information. I'd rather NOT change drawing packages, as it's taken me so long to get my head round Blender and I sometimes use it for other things.
I'll have a go at creating using the lathe technique. I have done something similar on Blender (using Bezier curves), so I will try that and let you know how I get on.
I'll also have another look at the printer settings and see if there is anything obvious.
Thanks again,
Connal

Hi,
I'm trying to create a couple of cup-like objects. I've created them in blender and imported them into Cura (3.5.1). On the solid view it looks fine
but in the sliced view, I'm just getting a thin cylinder.
I've tried it several different ways and the only one that was successful was when I 'hacked' a ready-made doughnut shape in blender. All the others look like the same thin cylinder. In Blender, I can't find any 'holes' and it was built so that I made sure there weren't any.
I've attached the 3mf file, if you need to take a look at it.
Thanks,
Connal

it didn't work... I used the spin option on Blender (which is far easier, BTW!) and it came out exactly the same on Cura.
However, I changed the printer from Prusa Mk2 to simply Prusa and it worked! I have no idea what the difference is between the two but it's printing at the moment, so time will tell but so far, so good.
Thanks,
Connal
