Bad Step file?

[dean448]

HI, I can export this model using STL but when I try to export using step it fails to define the entire model in my slicer.
there is an issue with the blend between the two curves. I have not had issues with exporting Step file before. Thanks

I got the same results when I exported it as a step 203 or 214 file, but when I exported it as a step 242, it worked correctly.

Step 242 opened in OrcaSlicer:



I prefer Step242, and wish I could set Alibre to default to this format, but alas I can't. I always have to select it from the dropdown, when I can remember.

Thanks. So I can change the step format in Alibre? I normally just click on Step.

Yes. Just select 242 from the "save as type" dropdown.
