Pints on Supports, what am I doing wrong?

Posted · Pints on Supports, what am I doing wrong?

I had to run this stl through Meshmixer to cut it in half because the original is too large. I'm sure I have screwed something up during that splitting process but have no idea what it is or how I can fix it. The problem is it prints only mostly the supports. Can someone school me on how to fix this file? Thank you in advance.

    Look at the prepare tab: your model is way broken:

    The blue and pink dot pattern generally means faces are either missing or have their normals flipped.

     

    If you're running Windows, Microsoft's "3D Builder" app (I think it comes with Windows 10 but you need to install it manually in Windows 11) is actually great at fixing models (as well as doing things like simple cuts and a bunch of other things).

     

    And because I just made some brownies and I'm in a good mood... here you go:

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
