Cura issues on a model with a text, slices the wrong part
Posted
· Cura issues on a model with a text, slices the wrong part
Did you make this model in sketchup - then the answer has to do with "normals" or saying which side of a surface is "inside" and which side is "outside". Skim this short article:  https://i.materialise.com/blog/3d-printing-with-sketchup/
Â
If it's not made with sketchup you could try repairing the model with netfabb STL repair service. You have to create an account but it's a free web service.
Â
You could also mess around with the "mesh" repair features in cura. There are about 8 of them. You might actually want to turn them all off.
Â
Also look at this model in xray mode (preview mode in top center of cura, xray mode in option to the top left area).
Â
netfabb is your simpleast, fastest option but if this is a sketchup model it is incredibly easy to right click all the gray surfaces and "reverse faces".
