STL Looks OK but builds with filled shaft hole in Cubex Printer Driver
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 2:43 pm
I've designed a spur gear system in GM
I used GT to open the system and export the gears to STL
I opened the STL files in the Cubex Printer Driver. It looks good at this point. The shaft part is a hole.
I tell the printer driver to build the print (Slice the STL) and it builds a gear with a filled hole.
Is there a thin layer I can't see covering the hole in the STL file? ( I drilled some holes after the print)
Also, the gears seem too big or the wheel is too small - the parts can't assemble
