Hello,
In the Prepare window, the part to be printed is displayed correctly, but when I slice, part of the geometry is missing, and I can’t understand why.
What could be the reason for this?
Kind regards

Looks like the left handed rectangle wasn’t joined to the model and exported. Looks like the holes were mistakenly selected instead.
Does bambu Studio give you the option to fix the model? Sometimes that solves mesh problems.
Where did you find the model? As it looks like it’s an assembly of negative volume parts and others. Almost like the the 2 holes were meant to be negative volume parts. But somehow they are mixed up making the block negative and pins positive. If that makes sense:)

Hello,
Thank you for your answers!
I drew the part in Sketchup; originally it was 2 grouped parts that I broke up into individual parts, and created the whole thing as a component, so I did indeed export it as a single part to a .stl file.
I was asked to repair it in Bambustudio, which I did.
And when importing it into Bambustudio, it is also recognised as a single part.
How can it be explained that this changes during further processing for 3d printing?
Kind regards

I have started again from 0 and redrawn it.
It printed without any problems.
Nevertheless I would still be interested to know why it didn’t work before.
I thought it was a tinkercad model, i.e. something that is created by adding blocks and pins and then boolean operations. I’ve got “broken” models when exporting to STEP files from Inventor. I then export as OBJ or STL to get a watertight model (no missing faces) which usually works. I’ve never used the repair feature 'cos it only works on windows(and apparently not that good as you saw).
