S3D freezes/not responding

Post by Alloy » Mon Aug 03, 2015 2:05 pm

I am having the problem of S3D freezing up/not responding when I try to "repair flipped triangles" and "parsing g-code" for this certain model. In the past I have had problems generating support, repairing, and post processing other models. Computer specs:

OS: Windows 7 Pro
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16GHz 2.85GHz
Ram: 8GB
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI

My hardware is above the minimum system requirements for S3D...

Try netfabb for your model debogofying needs. They have a downloadable free program, but their net service is easy to use: http://netfabb.azurewebsites.net

Most of my files are good. I just run the repair as a good practice. Unfortunately, I do not have permissions to install programs and that still doesn't solve the problem of generating the g-code.

The net version could repair the model to get a good model that s3d won't choke on.

After having trouble with the first part, I decided to try a different part. Everything worked fine, so I backed out of that preview and imported the part I was having trouble with. Set everything up and hit prepare for print. This time it worked...does S3D just need to warm up with a practice file :roll: :lol:

Also, I bought S3D so I wouldn't need any other programs. What is the point of have this "amazing" software if it wont even work.

I would say you have a computer issue. The software has been nothing but flawless on my machines. Maybe try a restart.

Having issues slicing the same part today again. So I did a restart of the system with no luck. The system is well above minimum spec... Time to contact S3D?

alloy, as jin said we can probably help but we need to see something. when your model fails can you save it as a factory file then zip the file and upload it here.?

I will have to get back to you on sending the part. I know I can't upload it for anyone to grab but I might be able to email it to a couple individuals.
