taras 0 Posted October 31, 2014 in Not printing holes Hi Please take a look at this image of my object... http://www.bredel.dk/um2/sokkeltandhjul.jpg When I open my model in Cura, alle view modes show the center hole. http://www.bredel.dk/um2/sokkeltandhjul_normalview.jpg Except the layer view, where the center holes is filled out... http://www.bredel.dk/um2/sokkeltandhjul_layers_bottom.jpg http://www.bredel.dk/um2/sokkeltandhjul_layers_midway.jpg ...unfortunately this is also how it is printed. So can someone please explain what is going wrong with the slizer, or which considerations I should take to have these holes printed? Have experienced it with many of my models that have holes?! Thanks Kind regards Taras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IRobertI 428 Posted October 31, 2014 in Not printing holes The slicer is doing the best it can with the information it has. Unfortunately the information provided by SketchUp is often incorrect.

Daid 260 Posted October 31, 2014 in Not printing holes Might be that the normals of the holes are the wrong way around. Then Cura can decided to fill instead of keep a hole open. In the expert settings there are "fix horrible" settings, unchecking the "type A" one changes this behaviour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nallath 530 Posted October 31, 2014 in Not printing holes When i read the topic name I thought; Well of course Cura isn't printing holes. Holes tend to be formed by a lack of material Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taras 0 Posted October 31, 2014 in Not printing holes Hi Daid "the normals" is a unfamiliar term for me. But I'll try the setting to se if it helps. Thanks! nallath > Correct (and funny), should have been "Cura printing/filling holes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taras 0 Posted October 31, 2014 in Not printing holes Tried netfabb fixer, and that solved it, all layers are correct now! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr5 897 Posted November 2, 2014 in Not printing holes "the normals" is a unfamiliar term for me. In sketchup the default surface is white on the outside, gray on the inside. You can right click on any triangle and swap sides. This could take many days if you have hundreds of thousands of triangles that need swapping. Fortunately Cura has a "fix horrible" option to take care of this. While I love sketchup, it's not very good for models to be printed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
