Hey all,
I've been designing a puzzle on Google Sketchup to be printed on shapeways. However, whenever I try to order, an error occurs. Apparently my design has "non fixable shells."
Unfortunately, this is the first time I have ever used both shapeways and sketchup, so I am at a loss.
If anyone is willing to help me, you can download the .dae file at: http://www.shapeways.com/model/250401/i ... tml?gid=ug
Just suggesting what to do would help!
Thanks
Andrew

Re: Shapeways help
Nonfixable shells or non-manifold?

Lot of things on fixing various issues. Make sure you merge your solids.

OOOOOOOoo
Re: Shapeways help
good question... the error message said nonfixable shells, so I'm going with thatmaztec wrote:Nonfixable shells or non-manifold?
That might helpmaztec wrote: Make sure you merge your solids.
not all shapes have to be triangles, right? (shapeways has a link for netfabb that checks over my design, but it keeps changing all the shapes to triangles)

Re: Shapeways help
Pretty much every 3D will create it's slice files from an STL file which essentially is your design represented as a number of triangles. So when you say it changes your shapes to triangles I'm assuming you don't actually mean than your shapes turn into giant triangles?

Re: Shapeways help
No no, just if there is a square, the program automatically draws a diagonal.

Re: Shapeways help
In Picasa view hidden lines it will show you the triangles.

Re: Shapeways help
As in it draws a diagonal line through the square? That's exactly what I'd expect it do...Ginger wrote:No no, just if there is a square, the program automatically draws a diagonal.
If you make an stl and want it checking then I'd happily take a look for you - my research is entirely based on 3D printing and rapid prototyping... I could event try a test print if you wanted?

Re: Shapeways help
Thanks Chris for the help!
My design arrived today, and I fixed up the model based on the result. Here's a pic:
