Hi there, I have spent quite some time to design this friisbee model and wanted to get it to a 3D print service. The upload of the file then showed a strange outcome. Can you help. I am a bit concerned. ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/4/4ce2906a9bfd718f332d746b5476948a5e58efe9.jpg)

If you open it in different viewer, is it OK?

You can experiment with adjusting the STL export quality.

István, it has nothing to do with the resolution quality. I don‘t have a different viewer. I can send you the file Shapr3D file for you to repeat.

I tested medium quality which provides a correct form but which is far too rough and high quality which creates this awkward erroneous form.

Yes : Could you please send the file to [support@shapr3d.com](mailto:support@shapr3d.com) so we can check it?

Thank you really much!
