Does anyone experience the surface of the shape you created becomes edgy after an chamfer operation along the shape’s curvy edge? The edgy surface is very subtle and I didn’t notice then. I exported the shape with high quality STL format and have it 3D print. When I received the 3D printed product, I noticed the edgy surfaces on the product. I went back to my project at Shapr3D and zoom into the shape surface and I finally see the edgy surfaces of the shape. Is this a bug/limitation of the software to create a smooth surface after the chamfer operation under certain conditions? I will try to extract the shape that I have problem with so that the Shapr3D team can take a look.
A screenshot + the .shapr file would help a lot. You can send them in an email, and we’ll look into it.
Also: what type of 3D printer did you use?
What would be the email address to send the files to? I will try to send it later today.
I sent my shape to 3D print via Shapeways.com. It is done through a SLS printer with white strong & flexible plastic material.
ThanksI have sent the .shapr files and screenshots of the problem. Please help to review and let me know if there is a way to work around these issues. Appreciate the great support!
