Does anybody know what is going on here? I have a simple cell holder, not very detailed, modelled at 19mm centre to centre (so not very large) using Fusion 360.
I have tried exporting as STEP and as OBJ, and playing with the refinement detail, but every time I slice some of the walls disappear and my model becomes non-manifold.
Here is a pic of what it looks like in the preview window of the slicer - everything looks normal:
If anyone has any suggestions for what to try, that would be greatly appreciated. I haven’t seen this issue before and this is a relatively simple model.
EDIT: in case anyone asks, because those walls look a bit thin in my screenshot, this is how they measure up:
Jon’s right. Dimensions are probably important to you but just to see why those walls aren’t slicing properly, try scaling that model up and see if the walls don’t slice properly then.
With 0.3mm thick walls, that’s going to take a 0.2mm nozzle to even print but probably won’t print well. You need to space those holes out where the walls get thicker or print with a smaller nozzle if the dimensions are forced on you by something else. 0.2mm nozzles can’t be used with all filaments though.
Thanks all. I thought that even if I was printing .6mm layers I would still be able to do .3mm in X/Y plane. After Jon’s comment I found this nifty guide which says wall thickness needs to be min 2 x nozzle diameter. Well, that explains that then I guess Oh well. Thanks all - I don’t know whos comment to mark as the solution as everyone basically gave the answer lol.
