Problem with export for a 3D print

SFellendorfSFellendorf Member Posts: 4
Hi everyone,

I am a newbie in Onshape and in CAD and have a little problem with my first project.
 Here is the link:
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3c267bf930151756db398c15/w/ede479d963bc18c8d8642d3f/e/6f3c71ef11d013e5eae9594d

It is a little bracket for my glass shelf. 
I have exported the part "p-1_Stecker" to a .stl format for the printing company but they gave me back an error message with this information (translated from German):
In layer 0, z=0.00 mm, conflicts were detected in the G-code paths. Please position the conflicting objects (Part Studio 1 - p-1_Stecker.stl <-> Part Studio 1 - p-1_Stecker.stl) further apart. 

Any idea what I made wrong?

Thanks for your support:)

Sönke

    You have two parts in your part studio. p-1 and p-2. Did you export both as a single stl file? If so, that might be the issue. They may be too close together to print.

    If you do want both printed, the better way to do it is to export each part separately, as individual files. Then the printing company can move them around on the printer bed as needed.

    I don't see anything wrong with your geometry to cause a printer problem.
