I just spent several hours creating a new project to print but when I go to convert it from an .stl to .cube3 file it is now saying 'Print file generation failed. Please try again."

Does that mean there's something wrong with the way I drew it up that the printer wouldn't be able to do? I hope that's not the case because of the hours I put in but an guessing it is?

I've printed several other designs from this program and printer and had no errors previously. When I tried to save a much simpler design and save it to file it did fine...

Please let me know what you think!

Thanks.

Figured it out! Just had to reverse the 'faces' in Sketchup. Apartently I was designing inside out. Easy fix once I realized what it was. Just highly the blue 'faces', right click, and choose 'reverse faces'.
