I'm getting reports that STL Export in 2.8ea will not export a cube that has been turned into a triangle mesh. Only just woke up myself, but thought I'd better get a report in. Will play with it tonight.

It'll be great when you do. Ed and I were just saying last night that as long as the boolean stuff works, using the CSG and parametric stuff is a wonderful way to design bits & pieces for printing.

Oh, damn. The forum formatter mangled the underscores in the URL. Go to http://olliver.family.gen.nz/~vik and you'll see it listed near the top.
If you still have trouble, mail vik at the diamondage.co.nz domain and I'll mail you a copy.

Nothing to apologies for, mate. You guys are doing a wonderful job with AoI.
I temporarily worked round it in this instance by converting the cylinders to mesh, simplifying the mesh and then doing the union on the two meshes.
A fix would be good though as I bump into this problem in other scenarios. I tried to make the bug report as simple as possible for you; this is the simplest one I...

I've got two cylinders here. They're concentric but the ends are clear of one another to avoid CSG artifacts. I union them together - or try to because Tools/Boolean Modeling... fails to launch. I'm using AoI 2.7.2 under linux. Any chance of a fix?

You're a mine of useful information. I've never heard of that one either - it's even in Ubuntu. Unfortunately, when I run it I get: something asking me to select a job, which doesn't match with the rather poor manual: http://www.marcdatabase.com/~lemur/vk-firstrun.html

Oh damn. It takes *forever* to do the Pinguino PCB. I think I'm going to end up going down the SVG -> gcode vector route.

Yup, that works for a while. But once I try joining a hollow cylinder with the result, things start breaking again. So I just ignored them, made a plain (non-boolean) join of the mesh instead and threw it at Skeingforge as an STL to produce this gem:

It's horribly non-manifold but at least I can print it out and get my spring crops planted!
