Hello. I am working with cura and fusion360. I have already asked my question in the cura forum but they didn't know whats wrong so I am now here. I have the frame of a drone that I exported from fusion 360 to cura to slice. When i add a raft to the model part of the outer 4 doughnuts dissapears. I attached 2 images of this.

Please attach an f3d file of your model.

Hello-

Sorry.  Just saw your duplicate post.  Reposting my answer here, also.

Is it possible to attach your model so I can take a look?

My guess is that it is not a "water-tight" model.  This means you might have open faces and Cura is looking for a "solid" model.

You can tell if your model(s) are water-tight solids by the icon next to them in the Browser.  If they look like white closed cylinders, its a solid model.  If they look like orange open cylinders, its a surface model and not water-tight.

 

Hope this helps.

I attached the file. I look at my fusion 360 I cannot see where cylinders would be. I also attached an image of my screen viewing the fusion 360 application. Thanks.

It looks fine for me although I never export directly to Cura. I right click and save as STL and then open it in Cura. 

I did also remove the extra body 6 first.

Ok thanks what does this mean. I did also remove the extra body 6 first. Do you know why mine is showing up different from yours in cura?

I don't know why yours is not complete. Did you do like I do and save the STL and open it in Cura? What settings are you using in Cura?
