What U See is not what you get

I have a problem when creating objects to print, if I use a Boolean the hole will show up but fails to print.

Tried using MC and Slic3r, Repetier also and each ignores the wholes. Why?



As you can see, the model has the holes but the finished print does not. Hmmm what can be causing this?

MC does show the model with holes but when I try to print, no holes.

netfabb repair?

 

Isn't net fab a pay
Service?

I tried downloading the software but it keeps crashing. They have a free cloud service with login. No registration found only the login.

Nope it's free. Try installing basic again.

 

Thanks, tried again, and net fab worked. Did a repair and now it's working.

I was hoping to find out why though and I'm still not sure why my modelling method is not working for creating holes using Boolean.

Two programs I found would be good to own; Netfabb and the new kisslicer. The new Kisslicer has great support feature. Real easy to remove.

Netfabb has a feature, if purchased, that will re-mesh your model. And lower the polygon count but maintaining the shape and clarity.

For both it will set you back more that $500 - ouch. Thanks a million for the basic version. It helps fix a lot of hole issues.

I have been seeing a lot of models with support built in already. For instance there is a great thingiverse mini easel. One print, with support built in. Easy to take off. Also with a simple cut with a exacto knife, will open a leg to stand on.
