Slicing incomplete

[Rollo3D 0]

Hello,

I have made a model in Sketchup 2017 and exported the STL.

Loading into CURA 4.3.0.

In the 'Vorbereiten' screen, all details are visible. But after slicing some details got lost (see attachment).

Any help how to solve the issue is very appretiated.

Check if the STL export produce a defect file. Install the plugin Mesh Tools from marketplace and check your stl file.

Hello DivingDuck,

many thanks for this hint. Very appretiated.

I installed the plugin and played arround with it.

I checked the model and it was already 'watertight'.

Eventually the issue was fixed even so I do not know what the plugin did.

E.g. what are 'normals'?

Never the less it is a great tool! Many thanks to the author fieldOfView too.

Here is a good description for commonly errors with stl files:

Sketchup is known to export problematic stl files. Sketchup doesn't enforce for solid parts (at least the older versions). You can find a lot of requests here in the forum about this topic.
