Re: .stl to .cube3 conversion

So, when I was drawing the file, I had made a rectangular plane so I could add the image to it as a texture. After I was done drawing the logo, I deleted the plane. That removed some relationships and the bottom of the model. It was able to be saved as a .obj file, but when opened in 3D Builder, it said there were errors in the file, but didn't prevent me from converting it to a .stl file. I opened it in Cubify, and it wouldn't build a print file, due to those errors.

Now, the way I fixed the problem was by redrawing the logo, but this time leaving the plane. I saved it as a .obj file, and opened it in 3D builder. It said that there were errors in the file, but this time, I believe it was because of the plane that had no volume. I was able to let 3D Builder repair the file, which removed the excess file. Then I was able to open it in Cubify and successfully convert the file to a .cube3 file.
