Am I able to print with errors?

Post by mwong »

Hi guys,

I'm new to 3D printing and the Kisslicer software. I noticed that after repairing my object, the error (in green) seems to be still there. Not too sure what I have to do in order to remove those green highlighted lines.

I used Sketchup to edit and netfabb to repair the object. Unfortunately, I am unable to attach the STL here.

Looking forward to your help guys.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Max

Hello Max!

"Green" errors are less problematic. Just do a slicing and have a look on the sliced levels. If there is no fault to be seen, you can print it.

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for your quick reply.

When you say slicing, is that the same meaning as looking at the object by the cross section? Also, does fixing it refer to joining/repairing the broken lines?

Cheers.

Hello Max,

I mean the "Sclice" button on the top right.
After slicing you can click the "Paths" point on the top, nearly in the middle.
Then you get the top view of your model, fist layer (not level).
On the right of the screen you see a pointer that can be moved upwards. There you can see the following layers.

Kisslicer has no or minor repair functionality. For this you can use for example http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

Hi Eddy,

Ah, alright. Thanks for letting me know. Not too sure but I used netfabb to repair the object but the green line is still visible.

I'll try the meshlab software that you recommended.
