Are any users having .stlresolution issues with WF4? In twenty years I have never had any issues sending stl to Rapid Prototype houses until WF4. Yes, chord height and angle control are set to minimum...just like the last twenty years....but I continually hear back that "the stl is rough, can you send the iges?"
Am I alone...?
my sla provider suggested that I change the part accuracy prior to exporting the stl.
I am running WF2, so this is "edit / setup / accuracy"
default is .0012, which I modify to .0001 (lowest number)
model will regenerate based on new accuracy setting - then export the stl.
I have only modified the angle if the stl fails, but I will try that.
Anyway, that has a tremendous effect on triangle size (and file size)
Not sure if this is holding in WF4 / 5 - guess I'll find out sooner or later...
Scott,
I just had a chance to read all the forum replies today. In my opinion, (20 years worth) your sla provider is dead wrong. changing your accuracy is not a practice you want to employ as a rule. Allow_min_chord height config option,chord height,angle control and step size check boxes with Pro are all you will ever need to produce an adequate stl.
