Tin,how much did your SD4 take to be shipped to you?

Well IIRC about a week to get it and another week to get the PS. But I purchased mine about 9 months ago and picked it up used.
so no bearing on current ship times from SD.

I do know how to export from solid works,and this is not the first two files I open,I'm gonna try netfabb now,and this happens when I load the models,not when I slice them.

EDIT: netfabb didnt work

IMHO a problem with the model file. Slic3er seems more sensitive to non manifold issues than cura.
so you could try a different slicer.

i think that solidworks give object as 'not solid' (not watertight)... try to load it in netfabb Studio (free) to see it the result is different ( and netfabb can probably corrected your problem)

but check this for export of stl from solidworks

export STL from SolidWorks
File > Save As
Set Save As Type to STL
Options > Fine > OK
Save
STL settings: How to change STL settings
File > Save As
STL > Options
For a smoother STL file, change the Resolution to Custom
Change the deviation to 0.0005in (0.01 mm)
Change the angle to 5 (Smaller deviations and angles will produce a smoother file, but the file size will get larger)
SolidWorks 2000 and later
Saving a model design in STL format
SolidWorks allows you to save model designs in STL format, at all levels of design, for both individual parts and assemblies, including the ability to save a multi-bodied model as a single STL. To save a model or a model assembly in STL Format:
From the File menu, select Save as. The Save As dialog box opens.
From the Save as type drop-down menu, select STL (*.stl).
Click Options... The Export Options dialog box appears, and the model is displayed in tessellated view. STL is the File Format selection.
In the Export Options dialog box, in the “Output as” section, select Binary. (The resulting file size will be much smaller than a file saved in ASCII format.)
In the “Resolution” section, select the appropriate option. If you select Custom, you can manually adjust the Deviation and Angle settings, as needed. These settings affect the tessellation of non-planar surfaces, as follows:
Lower Deviation settings result in finer tessellation.
Lower Angle settings result in with greater accuracy, noticeable in small details.
As a rule, the higher the resolution, the larger the size of the file, and the longer it takes to generate.
For Single Material Builds Make sure that the following check box is selected: Save all components of an assembly in a single file. This ensures that all components are saved as a single STL file.
For Dual Material Builds Make sure that the following check box is NOT selected: Save all components of an assembly in a single file. This ensures that all components are saved as separate STL files.
Click OK.
In the Save As dialog box, click Save.
In the confirmation message, click Yes.

So, today i turned on my printer(Solidoodle 3), as normal, loaded something to print, and repetier is not working properly.

It is not displaying the object correctly,
i tried checking in solidworks if the problem was in the part, but it looked perfect,
i thought it was a error in that file, so i loaded another part
Same happened

The objects are not loeaded properly, by some reason.
Thanks in advance

PD: im thinking on buying a SD 4, and in the store it says this:

but in support they display a something completely different time.

Anyone could tell me which one is the real shipping time?
