hi!

i've been making my 3D STL/OBJ files first with photoshop and now moved to autocad 2021, and in both cases when i import the STL or OBJ into cura the software gives me a "red layer" on the whole bottom side even if it's not sitting on the hot bed, what does it mean? is it a problem?

i'm new to 3D printing ^^" might be a dumb question....

 

thanks for the help! 😄

i've attached 2 pics of the same object in cura and the STL file if it might help to understand better the situation ^^

    The red here visualises overhang that would normally need support. But because the bottom layer touches the buildplate, no support is needed.
