TimC Posted Sunday at 05:24 PM Posted Sunday at 05:24 PM I need to remove the holes in this plate. just like they were never there. I tried making a cylinder and filling it in and it didn't look right I tried a bunch of suggestions from AI and that was a waste of time. If you cant open the 3MF file I can possible get a different older version Mark Macey front plate.3mf Quote
BIGAL Posted Sunday at 11:32 PM Posted Sunday at 11:32 PM Can not open may be just my software. What software did you use to make the object ? 1 Quote
SLW210 Posted Monday at 10:44 AM Posted Monday at 10:44 AM We need to know what program you are using to alter this to help you. Do you have the .dwg? Easy enough to fix in AutoCAD with a .dwg. Quote

A 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) file is an advanced, XML-based file type designed specifically for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. It was created to replace the older, limited STL format. Looks to be Solidworks from the extension of the sub parts(.SLDPRT), you need to update the plate sub part. --edit nm looks to be STL. convert the plate stl over to a solid. then you can edit. --edit edit or slice it if its flat and extrude into the thickness getting rlx vibes for some reason Edited Monday at 05:05 PM by mhupp 1 Quote
SLW210 Posted Monday at 09:52 PM Posted Monday at 09:52 PM If you have the AutoCAD .dwg all you have to do is Modify>Solid Editing>Delete Faces. If stuck with the 3MF file, your 3D Printer software and and filling the hole with a cylinder would probably be the only way. I could have redrawn that in AutoCAD without the holes in the time it took me to type this response. Quote

TimC Posted yesterday at 11:29 AM Author Posted yesterday at 11:29 AM Ye it was originally an AutoCAD file, but I ended up just redrawing it instead of fiddling around with it but with your input I think I can just remove it in the future. Thanks fellas Quote
