Hi all.
First sorry if my question is stupid.
I just want to print my first project for testing #d Printer M200.
I opened LDView STL sample project with simple gear I found (before.jpg).
After clicking “print” I can see that my object looks different (after.jpg)
Can you tell me “why” ?
I would think the mesh has errors like inverted normals or whatever that made the slicer throw up.
There are quite a lot of free offline tools like Meshmixer and online services to get STL files fixed for 3D printing.
If you google for "repair stl" you'll find dozens of guides.
Try it through Microsoft Model Repair Service: https://tools3d.azurewebsites.net/

Looks like an lego technic part :)
Do you fixed the error on slicing this part?
Crosssections are not joined, I suppose.
I bet if you would load it into NetFabb it would look similar to attached photo. (Z-Suite will create a hole inside model)
Do you use NetFabb or other repair services generally before printing the models?

Only if I see something strange in Z-Suite or final print itself.
I mostly use NetFabb, sometimes MakePrintable.com

I believe you are correct. I have found that if I have 2 solids in the same space, it deletes the overlap. It should be one solid part.

what version exactly (free or with costs?)

I use the newest one (Autodesk Netfabb). For my purposes - trial is more than enough.
