given my lack of answer in my last thread i thought i would repost and rephrase the question, i am currently facing an uncannilly high rate of meshing failure, i model in blender and am unfortunatly unable to produce meshes of a similar detail in other modeling software so moving really isnt possibl…

Hi @Lemlurker , Sorry to here you’re are still running into issues - maybe @jprobst can provide some insights here.

the most annoying thing is the way its gone from somthing that has never happened before to somthing that wont stop happening just for this project

is there any logical or earthly reason why a straight exported cube refuses to mesh? like wtf? i didnt eaven touch it, just exported it… [image] [image]

Hi @Lemlurker I just checked on your Tesla model 3 project and found that the STL describes what we call a “non-manifold surface”. This means that there exists at least one edge where 3 triangles join. The point (0.7902625203132629, 0.8697341084480286, 0.9659162759780884) is part of such an edge. N…

the cube is in this project, i tried it in an old project that i kew worked since it seems like once a mesh fails it some times causes a mesh that worked before to fail again, i am currently looking into retomographing the mesh but it is a very complex shape SimScale

ive tried reinstalling blender incase it was a persistent blender bug

I think it’s not a Blender bug. So far I found nothing special other than your file being binary. Can you try to export an ASCII STL?

i could convert but blender just exports the one stl format

I think there are plugins for Blender which make it export ASCII STLs. You can also try converting it with another tool.

@Lemlurker it’s really great to see that it works now!
