Part with rounded corners - not printable

Post by tim1985 »

Dear community, thank you for your help.

I have designed a part with rounded corners. When I export it to .amf or .obj and import it into Cura, all rounded corners are gone. What step am I missing??

thank you and regards
Tim

Geez, with no file and no info about your install is is extremely difficult to guess.

Please read the link in the big pink banner. It describes how to get and quickly post your system config and asks to post your FreeCAD file.

That said, I'll take a guess: you are selecting everything (thus getting both the non-rounded version and rounded version merged in the output).

I don't think linked groups has anything to do with what I or @Shalmeneser were referring to... ;)
