Hello David,
I looked at your model and found some issue with two of your corner cut solids.
I tried conversion and got the dreaded dangling faces error. When I removed
centrecutN.c from your region, it converted perfectly.
You can either fix the two offending solids, or eliminate those solids
completely by using 3 rpp's to form the center cut shape and just union them
together. So the new centrecutN.c would read...
u centrecutN.s1
u centrecutN.s2
u centrecutN.s3
You can also eliminate the large ARB5 and its cut box by using a single ARB8
with rotated side faces. In BRL-CAD, simpler is always better.
Hope this helped,
Regards,
Robert Anderson

Subject: [brlcad-users] stl conversion problem
I'm new to BRL-CAD and going through the steep learning curve.
I'm having problems converting the above file to .stl format so it can be 3D
printed. It appears to render as expected in both MGED and Archer but when I
convert to .stl and open up in Repetier-Host for 3D printing the centre is
cutout without the corner fixings left in.
Feedback from the conversion indicate dangling faces? I'm not sure about the
best way to deal with this.
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.
Regards
