Hi guys, I am just starting my 3D journey so lots to learn and really interesting.

However I am a bit stuck atm. I've downloaded some stl files from 'printables' and the 1st one failed 3 times before I looked at what Creality Slicer was doing -see pic- hopefully you can see that there is a 'gap' in the circle and also the hexagon, this seems to explain what my printer was doing, as when it reached these points the extrusion was floating in air as it had nowhere to adhere to. - the latest one had the cut on what would be a top of a cube within the model, meaning there would be nothing for the subsequent layers to lay on

The sample files I got with the printer don't have these missing pieces/layers when I slice them and have worked fine, also another one I download, not Printables worked fine - this one was paid for.

Am I using the wrong slicer, are the files corrupted somehow or, am I doing something wrong ?

Please help me out here

Steve
