Likely very small segments / surfaces.
Post the model so we can see how it is setup.
If you are modelling for 3D printing you have to be aware that SketchUp has problems creating very smal geometry. Smaller than 0,01 mm will give problems and when rounding corners on allready small things, this happens.
For now, scale up by a factor 1000 and try again.
For the future, model in meters as if they were mm. No need to scale down because .STL files are unitless. Your slicer will see the numbers as mm.
The box is 40x24x12mm (LWH), radius of box is 3, base surface the follow me radius is 1 (number of segments: 6)
A 1mm radius is just too small.
Set the model units to meters and model the box as 40 meters by 24 meters by 12 meters. Make the radii 3 meters and 1 meter respectively.
Is this for 3D printing? If so, do not scale the model down before making the .stl export. Just make the .stl with the model as is.
Yes, it for 3d printing, I’m understand I’ll set the units to meter, thanks.
I made a quick example. I don’t know if the hole in the bottom is the right size but the box is modeled in meters.
I downloaded the .stl file and opened it in the slicer. As you can see the box is 40mm by 24mm by 12mm tall.
Also, instead of using 6 sides for the arcs I used 48 to get smoother curves.
