Merging Parts Of Model Into One Shape

Discussion in 'Design and Modeling' started by 1467050_deleted, Feb 25, 2017.

  1. I created my model using TinkerCad and thought it was one continuous piece. However, when I uploaded it into shapeways it shows up as 2 parts. The model is of a 8mm projector wheel which fits over a metal shaft. I need it to be one complete part. I've attached a photo of the original part and the .stl file of my model. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

    I can't look at the model right now but as long as you overlap elements in tinkercad by a tiny amount and group them they should end up being one part. The other possibility is that you have a small stray element sitting somewhere around the main model.

    The two parts do not completely overlap. they miss each other by 0.06mm
    Attached is a repaired copy.
