THIS PROCESS HAS CHANGED FOR SPRING 2025.
To ensure the integrity of your STLs, they each must be repaired individually within Netfabb. These directions are written with the Raise3D printers in mind.
Step-by-step guide
Launch Netfabb
Select the Raise3D Pro3
If your STL is greater than 300mm in any direction, select the Raise3D Pro3 Plus
Click "Open"
The build volume for the Raise3D printer will appear
Click "File" & "Add Part"
Select your STL file
Set the tessellation level to Medium accuracy
Check the Automatic Part Repair box
Set to Extended repair
Automatic Part Repair must be checked with Extended Repair selected
Click Add Parts
Visually inspect your model to check for any unintended changes made by the automatic repair
You must provide a screenshot of this step for each file
If you change your original file in any way after you run the repair in Netfabb, you need to run it through again
Click File, then Export project to STL
Click Save
This is the STL file you will use for your Idea File
