I’ve created a model head and exported as = version1.obj
Then I scaled it (made the head thinner) and exported as another obj file=version2.obj
After that I scaled it even more (made the head even more thinner) and exported it as version3.obj
So I have 3 different versions of the model head as obj files. I’ve printed them but I got the same exact result for all 3 pieces. Why?
Hi @ZBrush888 ,
I couldnt possibly tell you what the problem is based on this information. The most straightforward possibility is that you aren’t actually printing the file that you believe you are printing. Have you opened and examined each file to verify that it contains the expected geometry? If you open a file and the points are in a certain position, then that is the geometry in the file. If you print that file, the points will be in that position when you print it. There is no mechanism for the point position to change.
However, it’s possible that something is going wrong in your pre-print process, the means with which you you are sending the files to your printer, or the print queue on on your printing device. I can do nothing other than speculate, but data from a previous file could be cached somehow, or a file could be not properly updating. I would look very closely at your pre-print process to make sure the file being prepared in your slicer software is actually the one being printed by the device. Try giving your files completely different names rather than the same name followed by a #. Perhaps that is an issue for something in your file chain.
