Onshape stl files not appearing in flash print

maxwell_stocking

Hello,

I exported a part to an stl and attempted to open it using flash print slicer, but nothing appears. I open other stl's that were exported from different cad programs and they appear, which makes me think that something is wrong on the Onshape side, although I have reached out to flash print about it and am awaiting a response. I just wanted to ask here to see if anybody has run into a similar issue. the onshape part file is here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d3f6135e01d3692dedbda2b5/w/d48a0b01432b833168bef308/e/daa36556d5cb9607ca11bdad.

I exported the part as an STL, opened that in Prusa Slicer and it appeared to slice just fine.  Maybe it's a problem in your slicer?

@maxwell_stocking I exported Part1 as an STL and opened in FlashPrint without problem.

Hi, I have absolutely the same problem. Have you been able to solve it? If yes, could you please tell me how to do it?

@thomas_geiser466 - if you'll link to your document one of us can create an STL from your part and see if it can be read by the slicer we use.  That would at least tell you if it is a problem with the part or the rest of the STL workflow.

There was a disagreement with the units. I designed it in inches but my slicer software imports it in mm. So it was super tiny. So two things fixed it, I changed the units in the slicer or I scaled up the part. Thanks!

Set the units to millimeter and it should work. I had the same problem and realized the default was meter.

That solved my problem. I designed in inches and exported to  as inches  so I changed to mm and scaled it up in Flashprint 
Thanks
