Roger  - a follow-up..

These are my notes from a successful STL repair process.. this worked for
me, N.B. I use Ubuntu Linux, so I don't have access to the 3D tools on a
Windows 10 machine.

Stumbling around trying to fix a long broken STL model…

I used MESHLAB 2022

Hmm. I came across this and ended up in "included in fusion 360" from
autocad and they dropped Linux support.

I now found appimage/flatpac for linux downloads. I'll give them a try
one day.

Hope this helps..

The other people involved have a "friend" who happily pays say $50k a
year for his 3D cad software, because the value to his company is a
multiple of that. They got him to clean up the file. It has printed, I
think. The camera still claims "too little light" so I can't see it
from here.

I've designed a snap-fit in openscad, so next step is to scale it up
beyond my print-volume, and add in the joints...

Roger.

f equals m times a. When your f is steady, and your m is going down
your a is going up.  -- Chris Hadfield about flying up the space shuttle.
