Combining bodies for 3D print

I have managed to combine two bodies (Modify-Combine)

I rightclick the new component, and create a STL file fine.

 

Only issue is that in the slicer it is printed as two bodies standing together, and not as one. 

The mesh is separate. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Hi @loekkegaard.

Without seeing the files I will bring here some ideas:

1. Did you check the STL for errors after exporting?

2. I'm not used to Cura, but Simplify 3D has a option called Separate Connected Surfaces. Could you look for something similar and see what happen?

@loekkegaard Did you choose to keep tools? If so, turn the visibility of the bodies off, sending multiple bodies/components can create this type of result. It can also help to test by using the "Make" tool and sending the single component directly to the slicer.
