Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
Hi All,
I'm not sure if this is a Slic3r issue or a part issue, but I'm trying to print a set of spares for my printer, and am having problems with x-carriage.stl. It display's incompletely, then crashes Slic3r while processing the file. I've tried the version off the website and off Github, which appear to be the same.
Has anyone else run into issues while trying to print this piece?
Thanks!
James

Looks like I was able to repair it by loading the .stl into Windows 10 3D builder. It asked if I wanted to fix it, and I saved the fixed version. Slic3r likes it much better now.

James,
I ran into this exact same problem. Can you post the repaired file?

Thank you very much. That looks a lot better!

The STL file is really corrupt. It is an ascii STL containing some "infinity" values, and depending on your locales (language settings of your operating system), Slic3r may not read it correctly. I implemented a workaround for this issue into Slic3r, it will be in the next release.
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
Hi Vojtech,
Workarounds are one answer. is it possible to re generate the STL without the corruption?
then it would work for everyone!

Just edit the file with a text editor, find the infinities and replace them with zeros. The infinities are in the normal vectors of the triangles in this particular buggy stl. if set to zero, the normal vectors will be recalculated by slic3r.
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
that's curious. when i load the part in slic3r, i get the same problems.
in simplify3d everything seems to be ok.
furthermore it's quite interesting, that s3d mentions that the part was analyzed successfully, with 2730 triangles...
just noticed that i can even export the *.stl with s3d... and slic3r likes it now !
so for your convenience:
dem inscheniör is' nix zu schwör...
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
Yes, S3D is good at some repairs then export as a new STL.
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
STL is now corrected, also scad file to export stl file correctly.
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
Is there a way to use the SCAD files in Fusion 360 or is there another format? I wanted to tinker around with a couple of the parts in Fusion but doing so with the STL is a real pain!!
I am not up for learning OpenSCAD right now!
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
AFAIK, there is no direct way.
But you can use FreeCAD to convert it to a step file, which is way better to work on.

Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
Brilliant! I may just be able to fiddle around with it in freeCAD also as a starting point. Thanks!!
Re: Prusa part x-carriage.stl corrupt?
Thanks for the adapted file, look sway better this way.
