The biggest reason is that the location data in the model is putting the part way off the build plate. Consider an STL of the rear tail light of a car with location data in the file - it could be at X=4500, Y=900, Z=1000.
Right click and "Select All Models". Choose the Move tool on the left. Look at the location XYZ and then change them to 0,0,0. That will pull the model back onto the build plate. If it doesn't, then there may be errors in the model.
Thanks for your reply bud.
I Did try that but all locations are at 000.
I also thought that the model contained unprintable pieces and there is a very small piece in there that Meshmixer identified but after scaling that up it still didn't work.
I'm in over my head haha
