Model analysis failed


If BuildBee prevents you from printing a model or it doesn't print properly, there may be an issue with how the model was created. You may see a message like the ones below:

Step 1 - Repair the model

- A lot of these errors are caused by models that aren't watertight, have intersecting faces or are invalidly defined. Usually, you are able to fix these bad models by 'repairing' them.
- You can easily do this by using 3D Builder or Netfabb repairer. More info can be found here.

Step 2 - Simplify your model

- Most other errors will be caused by overly complex models. Complex models may not slice properly or print as expected. This may not be apparent at first glance, but it is any easy fix for most models. Details in a model can either be from small components (or small model as a whole) or having a complex outer surface with lots of 'faces'.
- More information on reducing the face count of your models can be found here: Reducing file size - Face count.

Step 3 - Upload your fixed model

- Delete the old file from your account to avoid confusion in the future.
- Upload the new fixed version to your BuildBee account.
