    Hello everyone
    every once in a while i have a issue with a part that wont print at all
    I have the part open in matter control so when i go to hit print its goes
    thru inlill getting parameters and stuff then after it saves nothing happens.
    It goes right back to beggining and i pres print again same thing.
    is this a matter control bug issue? or is the a.stl fine issue? could the file be bad
    and if it is can i maybe try and fix in in blender? any ideas what can be done?
    thank you

    ok i figured it out... i guess matter control is very picky on how the object sits
    I had to keep rotating the object until matter control decided it was sitting right to print
    rotated z then tried x and finally it worked.

    Yep it probably just didn't fit on the build platform. Unlike other slicers MC doesn't tell you if the part is to big or not.

    It costs you much more than it is worth.
