Hello,

My PCB design software allows for STL export (file attached).

However the 3mm PCB holes are not coming into cura successfully.

When you preview the holes in mac or windows preview the holes are there which is what the PCB software co is telling me.

Please could you take a look and let me know what to tell them is wrong?

Thanks

Andy

    There is a problem with your STL file, seems that it is not watertight and/or some other problems. You can check it also in Cura with the x-ray view, there should be no red in the model, yours is full or red.

     

    Review your model in your design software, if it is ok, then try an STL repair service, like the netfabb online service. (it's free)
