It's ok for simple shapes but once you start doing anything other than a bit of a square you tend to get your face's back to front etc..

Try Netfabb basic to fix your repairs, it's free software and works very well. Grab it from http://www.netfabb.com/

I now use inventor and haven't had any problems since.

It clogs the honeycomb holes, I have no idea why... hmm


EDIT
Huge victory! big_smile

It fixed my problems. STLs slice correctly now!

What software did you use to create the model?

I have tried different approaches:
Sketchup > STL
3DSMax > STL
Sketchup > 3DSMax > STL
3DSMax > Sketchup >STL
and even
3DSMax > Sketchup > 3DSMax > STL. tongue

I've noticed, that different STL exporters resulted in different kinds of bugs and artifacts, but none of them worked fine for me. Even with simple geometries like this one:

I can't force XYZware to slice correctly. (the part should be solid in the red-marked spots, it shouldn't miss the triangles).

I can live with crappy interface, but I need my .3w file to be rendered correctly. Unfortunately, XYZware is apparently possesed by demons because this is how it slices:

First, the most extreme case. Here is the base geometry:

And here is the .3w file:
http://avatars.zapodaj.net/images/f49b4c225ad0.jpg

Ok. I can understand - lot of small, 2D surfaces, it can be confusing for the soft... But then I created the 100% correct, simple and explicit geometry:

Which turned out like that:

Some holes are plugged, others aren't printed at all...

Why does XYZware does this to me? Am I doing something wrong? How to fix it? Is there any way to use Slic3r with 2.0?
