Stl-file complication when printed with my 3D Printer.

[levi-textor]

Hello,

I created a simple model in Fusion 360, and wanted to print it with my 3D-Printer.

Everytime I try to print the model, my 3D-Printer stops at around 13%-15%.

I really don't now, whats wrong with my stl-file, I exported from Fusion.

I tried several slicing softwares, and the preview in those softwares always functioned,

but in the Printer everytime it stops at that percentage i mentioned. 

I thought there would be something wrong with the g-code, but it looks good for me.

So I think I have a problem with my model in Fusion.

Other models work just fine for my 3D-Printer, so I would say, there is no problem with the Printer. 

Is there something I forgot to do?

Can anyone help me there?

Can you File>Export and then Attach the original *.f3d file here?

When I open the file in Autodesk Meshmixer - something looks "fishy" to me.

Hi,

I've downloaded the part and found it as a flat part. Why didn't you print it flat?

Another thing is, if your slicer preview it, it should be done well. But I want to suggest you to check the g code file that it created.

Open it by notepad and see if the last portion's z coordinate is the height of your part. If that is ok, then the problem is in the printer controller.

[levi-textor]

Oh sorry, I should have done this instead of the stl file.

Here it is.

Hey,

what do you mean with "Why didn't you print it flat?"?

I didn't print it flat, because I don't want it to be flat. 

I attached the Gcode file, but that looks good to me.

You find something fishy in there?

[MoshiurRashid]

Hi,

I've checked your G-Code and also compared with my strategy.

If you print it this orientation, Z height is 2mm

From your G-Code: I found maximum Z is 1.96mm.

I also generated the G-Code (without raft) and found the max Z is 2.04 which is much reasonable.

I think the problem is in your slicer software settings.

Do you get expected results if you Combine the bodies (see Attached file)?

Why is there a duplicated dimension in Sketch1.

I recommend that you fully define you sketches, especially Sketch1.

[levi-textor]

I tried the combined model, but there is the same problem.

I'm relatively new to Fusion 360, so there might be some weird fails in the model.

What duplicated dimension do you mean? I can't see this in my Sketch.

Thanks between for the fast awnsers and the nice suppoert from you all!

[levi-textor]

I have an JGAurora A5, and i sliced it with Cura aswell with JGCreat.

But both led me to the same problem.

Any other models I'm slicing with Cura work just fine.

But the model I created with Fusion 360 just won't print right.

As I mentioned, as I sliced it in Cura, everything seems legit.

No errors, and the Preview also works fine.

 Your first sketch (actually your first sketch is Sketch4, so you must have made a few mistakes earlier).

This is about as basic as it gets - have you gone through the Tutorials?

[levi-textor]

As I said, I'm pretty new to Fusion 360.

I've done the Tutorial, yes.

But is this really a problem there?

I mean it is not necessary and looks weird,

but I thought this wouldn't cause any problems?

[TheCADWhisperer]

It is not a problem - but indicative of a generally poor understanding of the software.

When I see something like this (and especially when I point it out and the creator says, "I can't see this in my sketch"), I expect to see issues that are problems in how the geometry is created.

Use the Origin (especially for any existing symmetry).

Fully define your sketches.

Use body or patterns.

[levi-textor]

Yeah sorry, I'm using the German-Version, and I was not really sure, what you meant with "Sketch".

I thought you meant the whole project there. 

And I can mention it again, I'm a pretty new noob in Fusion 360, I'm using it for like 3 days now.

But I don't know, if this helps me getting my problem solved, getting bashed at, that I'm a newby in this Software.

Everyone needs his time to get familiar with any kind of Software.

So do you see any issues that are problems for the geometry?

Also thanks for the tips, I should start defining my Sketches,

but I thought this model wouldn't be so time consuming and large,

and therefore thought I don't need to do that.

Today I tried to make the same model in a new Fusion 360 Project,

and now The 3D-Printer prints the model just fine!

So I think there was maybe a failure, when compiling the Project.

Anyways, thank you for the help!
