stl checks fine in netfab.
1 thing I see in screen shot in G-code 'fill density 0..25" did you put 2 decimal points in that box in Slic3r? likely confused printer

Good catch!

I sliced and am running it right now with no issues...only a 30 min print.  Shields1.as, If you want it in Black, PM me and I'll drop it in an envelope...

I have a few thousand STL and SKP files but most of them are not print ready needing repairs etc and Im sure most of us here have had same experiences starting out. those 'bad files' look way dif when sliced than when loaded and explains lots of why it wont print.
this is why I love using Slic3r in RH so I can see what printer sees b4 trying to print

Ok, so I finally got my soliddoodle 3 hook up and ran a small test print. But for some reason the motors wont run and extract when I try to print a file I scanned on my 3d scanned. Its in .stl and runs through slicer fine. Anyone out there that could help me please.

what does model look like in RH when loaded? maybe post a screen shot of that if you can. also compare that to what it looks like as G-code

thats not as big as some I have seen (like 10x that). maybe they now limit to 3mb like yahoo. try putting it in zip file and upload if it lets ya

bad file then. as STL files that are done right are not that big I have found. how many MB is the file? sometimes editing gets carried away in some programs, what program are you making the STL file in? also when slicing does slicer finish slicing b4 you try printing? thats another matter
