One of things I really like about OpenSCAD is how anything I make in it is guaranteed to be manifold. It’s a solid modeler and by manipulating, adding, and subtracting solids – I should always end up with another solid. I exported two of the parts necessary for a Pez Powered Disc Shooter only to discover that OpenSCAD refused to compile one of the parts – because that part had some polygons with an incorrect winding order. Mind, I had no problems exporting the part in the first place – but importing it back? Nope.
Oh, OpenSCAD, is our love affair over so soon?
openscad has exported non-manifold STLs for a while. http://cloud.netfabb.com does a lovely job of fixing them.
I found the exact same thing today, I exported some extruder gears in stl and then tried to reimport them. Is this still a problem with recent builds of openscad? I haven’t updated in a while.
