Hi everyone, I'm new to the 3D bussiness. But for a private project in need a design of mine printed. I've drawn the model with Sketch-Up and exported it as a .dae file. But everytime I upload the model, somehow there appears an extra "surface" inside the hollow cone I've drawn... You can see what I mean here: https://www.shapeways.com/model/271464/cone_speakerhouse.html ?gid=ug https://www.shapeways.com/model/271465/cone_speakerhouse_atte mpt_2.html?gid=ug When I open my file in programs like sketch up or Meshlab, these "extra surfaces" aren't there so I can't delete them... Can anyone help me out with this please?
Ok, I'll try: Wen I open the .dae in any of my software programs, there does't seem anything wrong with it. But as soon as I try to have it printed, I get mails those extra "surfaces" are not printable...
I fixed it I made it 120 mm big, I have no idea how big it should have been? Let me know if the size is wrong. Sketchup is not a good program to model in, it never shows how it will look like printed.. The dae I exported showed allot of errors. Can you give a review in the 'modelers for hire ' section? Thanks, Rob
Hi Rob, thanks a lot! Could you please fix the size? The diameter of the biggest circle (the thin ring just below the cone part) should be 33 mm I'll leave feedback my friend, thanks a lot! PS: what filetype did you save the file? I can't seem to open it nor upload it on the shapeway site...
Hi Mace, I rescaled the model. The file is a stl, a standard format that shapeways uses. You can upload the zip, that is no problem. I just uploaded it myself and it gave me no problems.... Try again with this version. You can leave feedback here : https://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=2937&a mp;a mp;start=0& Cheers, Rob added a new file
Hi Rob, it seems something went wrong with your upload. I can't open the zip, nor can I upload it on the shapeways site... Can you please check it again? I'm very sorry for this, you've done allready some much to help me.
Jup! That did it! Thanks! Feedback on the way I have a feeling our paths will cross again in the near future
