Hi Stefan!

Thanks for your encouragement :)

@You : "...BTW. Doesn't 3DCoat has not in the newer Pro version also tools for 3D printing and checking?..."

Sure! 3D-Coat has all tese things, but for the moment I'm not ready to play with these advanced settings.
I don't know what they mean and frankly...for the moment I don't care :)



Anyway...I wanted to repeat the test using a different approach/

This time without 3D-Coat but using direcly the obj file exported from Moi using these settings :



I have exported both to ShapeWays and 3dhubs.

In 3dhubs also this export failed.

In ShapeWays the import was OK but with a more faceted final object compared to the Voxel decimated model exported from 3D-Coat.





I'll keep experimenting, but anyway 11 USD (plus tax) for a single model of 4cm is really too much expensive!!!
They're crazy :)

I have to search another cheaper printing service.


Do you know others ?

Thanks and have anice day.
