I was just looking at the model too. I just wanted to point out for anybody that I used "ExplodeMove" to reveal the problem. Although Michael is much better at understanding what he found and fixed it, I found a pile of fragments in this area that the explodemove command revealed very quickly. I would have probably rebuilt the whole intersection. Perhaps all the fragments were just a byproduct of the one bad trimmed surface Michael repaired. ANyway, thought it may be useful.

Hi Michael ...

Yes, the pieces are not symmetrical ... they are the opposite sides on an unsymmetrical portion of a 2 dimensional symbol. A Tibetan letter (text) so to speak.

I'll see if this one (you fixed) will upload and let you know ... and thanks.

I do wonder how the error happened ... all duplicate parts should be the same ... they were made from one part and then arrayed.

Hi Michael ...

The model you repaired uploaded to shapeways just perfectly.

I originally increased the polygons to about 75% on the export slider (the one that failed) ... I did the same thing with the repaired one.

thanks for all your help.

I have ordered a small 3d print of this and a few other things ... I'm very curious about how they'll turn out.

cheers,
eric

Thank you Pilou and Michael ;-)

Hi eric, it would be cool to see a picture of the actual model when you receive it.

It's always so cool to see these models appear in physical form, it's kind of like magic.

Hi Michael ...

I will do that ... I have sent in 3 objects so far, so I will get pics of all three.

cheers,
