I am trying to creat a jar that can be 3D printed. In the attached file there is a surface near the top that will not mesh and does not show i shaded view. DIR seems appropriate. Selecting the object shows Closed Polysurface as the object properties. When I analyze for Naked Edges - No naked edges found. If I extract the surface it appears properly. Meshing says Closed Mesh but the exported .3mf does not slice properly and would fail to print properly.
What can I do to fix this?
JarFail.3dm (382)
Despite the fact that Rhino is indicating the object is closed, there is a problem wit the geometry as shown.
Thanks for looking. Yes, there is a problem… How do I fix it?
I tried exporting as an STP, then reimport and save as STL.
There is probably s better way to fix this without the export & reimport but I am not experienced when it comes to fixing this with Rhino’s tools. It may be a tolerance issue but it would have to be trouble shooted further.
explode the object, and use RebuildEdges on the funny transparent surface, or simply rebuild all then join back together.
“RebuildEdges” fixed it. I’m not sure what exactly was changed but the surface showed up and the shape was closed when rejoined. Many thanks.
