i’ ve just completed the builing of my K8200 and it really works great !
i’ve read a lot about the Z axes wobling, so i wanted to improve some pieces.
i wanted to print the piece described in the picture, but slicer do not seems to do the work well.
as you can see, there’s a difference between the object and the G code. there is a space at the bottom of the model ! and i dont know why !

It looks like there is a problem in the design of the part
I had the same problem with that part
You can download Cura and slice it in there and print it in Repetier.
The Cura slicer does a lot of repair ing as it slices.
If you set Cura up you can also print from it.
i heard that cura engin is more powerfull than slicer !
is there any possibility to use the last version of repetier with the k8200 ??[/quote]
Yes, indeed!
I do so and cura gives way better slicing whenit comes to “problematic” parts.
Although slic3r is somewhat more fine tunable, i use cura for most parts now.
You can also try 123D Mesh Viewer from Autodesk to repair your stl files before slicing.
and it works great ! the slicing is incredibly fast !
the quality is also different.
i will post pics of the different printed models
thx
Edit :
i tried the repaire the model but it does not make any difference whith slicer.
it worked well with cura whitout repairing … or it probabely uses reparing technics whithin the soft …
Many of the designs on Thingiverse and other sites have errors in the CAD files.
They are not ‘manifold’ that is their surfaces have gaps, although you many not be able to visually detect them in the model.
Ideally you would never try and slice a file with errors, checking for them and correcting them first (using Netfabb for example). However, most of the slicers will try and correct the errors with varying degrees of success.
