3D on Win doesn't say anything about what it repaired... I noticed that if I export the file to STL instead of OBJ, 3D doesn't find any errors at all...
You could try this path, instead of obj format.

This is the repaired file, not the one he sent to the printer.
Great job! If you check the image in the first post you can see that they printed with support, also for the "middle pin" (thats the rectangular thingie at the base), you can also see support in the "hole" under one of the "cogs".oldmachine wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 11:06 pm Printed only the upper section of the Clasp/post… It printed fine.

Thanks oldmachine for taking the trouble to test print- much appreciated! I'll forward your comments on to the printer co. I think this might be the best bet.oldmachine wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 11:06 pm Printed only the upper section of the Clasp/post… It printed fine.
I'm going to check out netgen, thanks for the suggestion.TheMarkster wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:12 pm If you create the mesh in mesh design workbench, using netgen -> very fine the resulting mesh looks okay except for some fold on surface errors
Thanks Chris - I'm going to check out step files, that's a new one for me and sounds useful.
Yes - I'll give that a go. thanks for the best practice tips too.
Thanks for taking the time to look into this, I think you are probably right!
Ding ding, this is the money comment (as long as the model has no errors and the slicer is properly configured). You will need a very effective ventilation or the clamp sides won't have time to cool down. Resulting in curl-up and failure. Going slower does not work because it inject more heat in the model. Pausing between layers might be possible but could create oozing issues. So ventilation to bring the temperature down or creating a side (lost, a cube for example) structure might be the only way.
