Good morning everyone,
I wanted to know if anyone can help me to make 3D printable the models extracted with euviewer. If I extract them and import into the slicer, the file is full of imperfections that make impossible print because it is not a solid. I tried with some software to fix the problems but I don't get an acceptable result. Can anyone tell me if there is a method to obtain 3D printable models? thank you all in advance

Regards

@Ondaluce: From quick search it appeared that whatever "slicer" tool you're using, it probably doesn't support any of formats exported by umodel directly, which means you're re-converting them via some other software first, which can lead to possible issues due to various import/re-export settings or due to 3d printing specifics. For example, googling for "unreal to stl" shows up some videos with conversion steps from umodel to blender to other software chain. I guess the main problem is that model should be merged into single surface for 3d printing software, but that's out of scope of umodel itself.

Quote an old video from this page - https://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php/topic,1690.0.html
However it should work, I think

Thanks a lot for reply,
I'll do some tests and update you.
I use Cura as a Slicer
