Hi People,
I’m pretty new to 3D design and brand new here.
I designed some pieces using GeoGebra. When you download them as an STL it gives you the option to either chose the thickness of the inner and outer walls or select ‘filled solid’.
Filled solid is ideal for me, as my pieces need to fit together, and additional thickness means they’ll all need filing down.
However, a lot of the pieces are cup-shaped, and when I print them as ‘filled solid’ they either don’t print or print as one solid lump, like a bullet as opposed to a cup with filled walls.
Could this be an issue with design, with gaps, and/or is it possible to repair them or alter them in such a way that they will print with filled walls?
All help is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Brett.
I'm not familiar with GeoGebra, but looks like there is a problem with STL output. Try to use options to save STL as shell (with zero thick walls) and process this STL with other software (maybe MeshLab or even Blender can help) to make it solid.
Anyway the easy and automated method of making complex models assembled from few or many parts doesn't exist. Each connection must be controlled manually within the software or after the printing.
