LCD Cover Printing Horror
I am currently in the process of giving my Mk2 a face-lift and changing from orange to red. So far everything has been printing okay EXCEPT the LCD cover.
I've tried several prints now, and every time, there is some sort of horror halfway through the print. See below:
Here's the S3D factory file that I used: http://hackerdepot.com/PrusaLCD/MK2%20LCD%20Cover.factory
And the resulting gcode: http://hackerdepot.com/PrusaLCD/MK2_LCD%20Cover.gcode
Can anyone shed any light as to what the heck is going on? I have already had to throw away a number of bad prints. ABS is cheap, but it's not THAT cheap for a part this big.

Oh yes, and I'm using the STL file right from the repo.

I believe that other users have found issues with this model; you may have to put it through repair software.

Thanks, PJR. I thought it was just me for some reason. It is a bit silly and frustrating to have broken models in the github repo.
Re: LCD Cover Printing Horror
Looks like the problem was in fact with the STL file that was in the repo. Had to run it through Netfabb to fix it. 🙁

i am glad i wasn't the only one with the problem.
so running it via netfab would fix it?

Indeed. There is also another thread that has fixed STL's already posted. Don't have it handy at the moment, but a search should turn it up.
