Topic: Object does not show the same form after slicing

I'm trying to print a hip part of a giant Darth Vader and it shows ok when loaded to Repetier but after using Slic3r on it, it shows differently. Any help will be very much appreciated.

Re: Object does not show the same form after slicing

I also had similar issues using sketchup files from 3dwarehouse exported to stl. due to some having hidden objects from designer errors etc. netfab will show them, then open the original sketchup file, select 'unhide objects' delete anything unwanted, save then export new file to stl and look at it in netfab again. thats how I fixed about 6 files. some are very hard to see and delete being near invisible. seems people think 'hide' is same as delete when designing. others use this trick to prevent their designs being copied even embedding name text etc hidden into inside areas of models. even found a photo on an inside wall of a structure (lots of that gets ignored during export to stl though same for colors thats why you see thousands ignored faces etc).

Solidoodle 2 with Deluxe kit cover & glass bed with heater. and 2nd board SD2 used not 3rd and alum platform not installed yet still wood. also need cooling fan installed to board. use Repetier Host couple vers. Slic3r also have all free ware STL programs
