Cura: problem with windows in curved surface

[joostdevletter 0]

Windows.stlI have a problem with windows in a curved surface. They are neglected by Cura. If I lift one or two sides a few degrees, Cura includes the windows. Any solutions?

I don't see the problem you're describing but on a closer inspection the center posts of the lower middle window don't seem to slice correctly.  This was with .4 nozzle and .4 line width.  It looks like there aren't any walls, just the infill.

 

If you do a "Save Project" and post the .3mf file here your settings will be included.  Hopefully they will tell the story.

Thanks for your response Greg.

I forgot to say: I turned the model on his 'back' to have a nicer front side. I can try to print it the way you sliced it but it should be possible to do it the way I tried to do it, or is that impossible for some reason?

Laying it flat on it's back the problem showed up.

 

Load the Mesh Tools Plugin.  Select the model and right click.  Select Mesh Tools and then "Fix Model Normals".  I think some of the surfaces were flipped around.

I still don't like the way the dividers slice.  A .2 nozzle makes a world of difference.  If you have the model and software you could make the dividers and headers wider.

 

This is with .4 nozzle

 

This is .2 nozzle.

Sorry for my late reaction. I installed the Mesh tool now and it works perfect!! Wonderful! Thanks again.
