I met the same problem. Who can tell me the reason?

Greetings Sandy,

There isn't much information to work with. Only by seeing the list of files present in the folder "0" and the contents of those files, will I be able to tell you what the exact problem is.

This error message is usually associated to a space or invalid character in the name of a file or field. The "r" is the word already reduced to an acceptable word, but any invalid characters have already been discarded for this message.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi wyldckat, my file made by Solidworks. I don't know why to met this problem.

Hi Sandy,

There are 2 details to always keep in mind when exporting to STL:

• Always export to STL in ASCII or "coded" format (this means it'll be plain text).
• Edit the resulting file with a text editor and look for the lines that start with "solid". Next to the word "solid" is the name of said solid; that name should be a single C/C++ word.

Examples of valid words:

• wall
• ladder
• part_001_73_

Invalid names:

• This was generated by productnamehere
• part 001-73:
• 70 inch wall

edit: You can export to binary STL if you want to, but it's advised to only do it when you've got more experience!

Best regards,
Bruno
