Printing Atlas 3D (Page 3 of 4)

I was an early backer and got the files as soon as they were released.  If having to orient a part so it prints is a problem, well I am all out of words.

for now I'm gonna continue through the rest and print what will

I found one more file that wont even load in repetier host the right tower same as the 2 Bplus cases just a string of NaN value errors. I sliced all but 6 files in my original Slic3r that came with RH from Solidoodle. 3 wont load the other 3 wont slice right. I am pretty sure I can get the 3 to slice right on my other laptop with the newest versions of RH/Slic3r so I will try the 3 that wont load also.

Is it possible that the files you downloaded are corrupted?

I just loaded every single part for this thing in Repetier, ALL AT THE SAME TIME, and had absolutely no problems.  The only part that Repetier says is not manifold is the camera tower, but it still slices just fine.

At this stage, I can only assume you have corrupted files.

also I have noticed lately (I have tested most of the top 15 anti virus/firewall programs lately) that many of the new anti-virus/firewalls have become more troublesome for apps like we use in 3D printing and warn never to use any of the so called 'PC cleanup' addons from them as they know nothing of our apps and will remove all or part.

I think your right about some of that but you wont get 'flagged' by parts of 3D apps like Python that work in background but they are seen as either unused files (wasted space) or suspect by many cleanup apps. and my laptop that has winXP sp3 has same AVG as you but its latest 'updates' have bad effects and also security issues (like forcing PC cleanup and paid versions) which can be confirmed online by all but AVG. one place that called them out was Google Chrome which works in conjunction with Comodo antivirus/firewall which is whats on my other laptop running win7 as I hated Win10 due to security and spartan usability offline. Comodo has free versions also but with much friendlier updates and features like virtual desktop/browser (Chromodo) making malware attempts impossible while browsing. as for errors in STLs a very high percentage have trivial errors in mesh, triangles, nonmanifold holes etc that slicers try to repair to their satisfaction and note these in log. the 6 files I posted above had many and old slic3r versions do poor repairs omitting parts often plus 3 of those files wouldnt even load rather listing long lines of NaN values for those files and canceling loading. but those exact same files loaded and sliced fine on my win7 laptop with its current RH/Slic3r version. the only other odd issue lately with my winXP laptop was its not loading the 2 Murondo sites for the files and instructions and that seems to be related to AVG or Windows security issues which started a couple months ago (I am still searching for that issues fix).

my other questions while looking through my Atlas scanner kit from Filastuder 1st is how do I register it for future updates? and how do I use the software that came with the WIFI dongle which is 100% in Chinese text? I have not gotten any reply from the maker of the scanner on any issues, so who do I ask? as this is not a shipping/distributor issue. I am likely going to have to reinstall some apps due to AVG updates busting up some things b4 I uninstalled those updates and reset some settings. also I will likely swap out AVG for Comodo and not add more apps to that laptop til spare one is fully useable for everything I do on the old one.

and as to 'snide remarks' I think that is easy to see which ones they are. no hurt feelings here;^)
like I tell people (as I have done same thing) dont hand it out if ya cant also take it. its not personal just people get calloused to things after hearing it so much.

Once you input the serial number of your Atlas into the setup page, you will have automaic access to the updates.  All you need to do is click the "Check for updates" link under the camera button, and it will tell you if there are any updates or not, and you simply click on the update.

As for the WiFi dongle, it's an inexpensive one, but it works just fine, albeit slow.  It doesn't require any drivers, the drivers are built into the Rasbian/FreeLSS MicroSD that you should have gotten with your kit.

I looked at your previous posts and didn't see any files that you posted, so I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I can tell you again, there are NO ERRORS in any of the original Atlas 3D files, trivial or otherwise.  I've had them analyzed in NetFabb, and even imported them in Solidworks and they had NO ERRORS.

The only app that claims to see problems is Kisslicer, which, as far as I'm concerned has been broken since 2014.

Here is the NetFabb analysis of the Camera Case Front

I know about the netfab. I done it too. all checked perfect. just 6 of them wont load or slice in my 2 old versions of RH/slicer and the 3 that did load had several errors listed in log that slic3r tried to fix but instead left parts out. like netfab does sometimes if you try auto repair on some stl files. like it fills in wheels or interiors of cars. the new slic3r is much more forgiving not nit picky like the older versions

the 2 RPI Bplus case files and the right camera tower are the 3 that just give the NaN value errors when trying to load them in RH, the Camera case front you posted and camera arm and camera tower are the 3 that the old slic3rs repair and mess up omitting parts of the models and have several errors logged on each. but no issues in netfab or new Slic3r. very odd. I also was battling with calibrating a roll of black filament I am using for this which I used b4 but seems it got spots that must have gotten humid and swollen so dia ranges from 1.79-1.85 (still feeds fine lol) took me several attempted prints to solve that b4 getting good prints. LMAO just 1 thing after another but alls well now just gonna be a week getting finished printing and assembling. then learning scanner and calibrating it also. then start moving into saving and moving slic3r profiles to new version and relearn all that so I eliminate future hangups. this 3D printing learning cure I thought would take a year, is never ending.

Thanks, I had those PDF files but they nor the one hard copy in kit say anything about that serial number. and even the youtube video instructions dont explain what or how to use the 2 different RPI case parts printed for the old or new RPI. also the nylon screw for mounting Pi camera is not in the hardware bag. and all assembly instructions call hardware by letters but only 1 small bag in the main hardware bag has a tag marked 'C' with washers. the others have no desognation yet are various sizes, shapes and 3 different allen wrenches included. can we get some way to identify which is what? last time I had this many tiny nuts and bolts was when I built a visible V8 engine and chassis and it had a page showing how to tell what was what for instructions.

n2ri,

This is the first report I've heard of problems downloading and also the first report of corrupt STL files.  The files have been printed a very large number of times on a wide variety of printer so I'm not sure why they are giving you problems.  I have loaded and printed them in Repetier Host, SoliPrint, and MatterControl without issue.  Have you tried updating your printer software?

If you have a Raspberry Pi Model B then you need to print RPI 1 Model B Case Lower, and RPI 1 Model B Case Upper, if you have a Pi 2 or Pi 1 B+ then you need to print RPI 2 and B+ Case Lower, and RPI 2 and B+ Case Upper.  The case for the Pi B was just recently added and is a simpler design, but functions well.

The software for the WiFi adapter is already loaded on the SD card, so you should not need to install anything.
