New to kirimoto - 3MFs Don't Work?

Kiri:Moto

I heard that kirimoto would be really good to look into as a way to solve a research problem of mine, but 3MFs don’t import at all even though supposedly they should work. It just says “decoding 3MF” and then no object is added and absolutely nothing happens. STLs work perfectly, but I can’t use kirimoto for my purposes if it can’t take 3MFs.

Hi Dillan,

Please email send me your 3MF and I’ll figure out what’s up.

or DM me on the Discord server.

Thanks

Thanks for the sample 3MFs. I was able to fix the 3MF decoder to account for this variant. Will push an update to production tomorrow with the fix.

I noticed that your 3MFs contain multiple overlapping objects. In one case it looks like two meshes were unioned and then the two meshes along with the resulting union are all included.

Thank you so much!! I believe that they should have all just been regular 3MFs generated by Solidworks, not sure why they’re unusual.

they’re not unusual. it’s just that every 3MF I had tested previously had a matrix translation record for each object even when the translation was 0. these files omitted that and it caused the code to fail.
