Do you have a couple of example stls, before and after?
I can put them into max, compare polygon counts, edges, mesh structure etc. Take some screenshots, might give us an idea of what it does.
It's free, upload something to http://cloud.netfabb.com and it will "clean" it up. I'd be interested in your results.

I don't really have any 3d models with issues, as I clean them by hand using STL Check within 3DS Max. I put my piston through, and didn't really come out the other side any different. A couple of new edge lines cut in, but that's about it.

I guess I could grab one of our "broken" game assets and give it a go, will try that later.

Python is limited to ~2GB of memory on 32-bit installs. You need to use 64-bit. Macs are 64-bit by default.

Or slic3r, like you discovered.

What was the file size of the STL, just out of curiousity?

I downloaded repetier and started using slic3r and I got it to work

upload it cloud.netfabb.com anx try to run the repair through. Sometimes that helps and it's free!

I just got my solidoodle and have been printing out small objects fine. But I just tryed to convert the gear lamp form thingverse into gcode using skienforge and i keep getting an out of memory error. This error keeps coming up when i try to convert bigger stl files into gcode. If anyone could help that would be great. PLEASE
