Luban 4.7.2 claims to find errors in Benchy

When I want to print the well known 3D benchmark Benchy (this ugly little ship, obtained from Thingiverse #3DBenchy - The jolly 3D printing torture-test by CreativeTools.se by CreativeTools - Thingiverse), Luban 4.7.2 claims to find errors in the STL file and asks whether it should “repair” the model.

Ultimaker Cura does not find such errors.

Either the STL file has indeed one or more errors - then this should be analyzed. However, since Benchy serves as benchmark test now for some years, this is unlikely. Rather, this issue points towards an error in Luban.

I’d like to have your opinions on this issue.

On my side, prusaslicer finds errors in it too. I just let it fix them. Really don’t like the idea of benhy tho. Producing garbage for no good reason.

lol, where did you get the idea of pleasing me? Didn’t you ask for opinions?

Benchmarking the outdated software on how it interprets an STL against one other slicer with the same codebase - isn’t really providing any useful info. You didn’t even tell us what version of Cura is used. Lot’s of people in the community use other slicers because of some degree of limitations Luban provides within given application. We all know it’s not perfect :slight_smile:

Did you try using fresh version of Luban? Did you check all the mainstream slicers out there if they exhibit the same behavior? It very much may be an issue with benchy model, that newer version of Cura slicer just work around,due to how minuscule the issue is. Did you try not repairing the errors and slice it anyway then check the sliced model for errors?

P.S. Not trying to tread on you, just my opinion. Benchy is not a good thing to print regardless. It has no real life application and goes straight to waste (don’t start on any plastic can be 100% recycled). IMHO, after going through calibration process for every aspect of 3d printing, it is much more responsible to print something functional but not of critical importance to have nice appearance - you can still use the part printed, and you can still analyze what can be improved by watching it print and inspect the ready print.

Blender 3dprinting toolbox counts 202 intersecting faces for example. Also the topology of the benchy looks like garbage, so it doesn’t surprise me that there are problems with it =D

In fact the “errors” are also found in Luban 4.8.0. And just to remind you: In another thread you state yourself that the slicing core of Luban is not really top notch.

Good idea to look at this in Blender, will do that.

Blender is awesome! :smiley: I’m currently using chat GPT to develop a addon for blender that will generate supports to for 3dprinting…

I am using Blender for many years in my computer graphics course at the university, and ChatGPT in two research projects. If you need any support, let me know.

I’m no blender guy.
Why would you need to get supports generated within blender? I was under impression the slicers are honed to do this.

Because I want to use Ideamaker or Simplify because of their superior user interface. But they dont have tree supports :cry: Also I thaught it would be fun to play around a little bit with the idea of creating supports with the use of blenders fluid sim :upside_down_face:

Thanks for the offer. I wil take you up on that next time I get stuck, for sure! :smile:

Luban is a castrated version of Cura. Yes, there are errors in the official Benchy STL, and Yes, everyone knows about them.

just nuke the tread at this point :slight_smile:
