Thanks for the report. If it slices for the Ender then maybe you have a setting that is beyond one of the "Maxes" for the Pixel. Load the "Printer Settings" plugin from the Market Place and check things like the "Max Z Feedrate". There are printers with Max Z speed of 5mm/sec and if you try to slice with the Zhop speed at 10mm/sec you would get the "can't slice" message. If a setting is the issue then the setting box should be showing a red background. A Project File would be very helpful. Without one it's all guesswork.

Thanks for the help. I'm surprised I got a response so quickly. I've attached the stl file here. I'll test out what you suggestd when you have time. I appreciate the help.

I'm retired. It's all about when I roll out of bed and the coffee is done. With the Pixel printer active, load the model in Cura and set Cura up to slice. Use the "File | Save Project" command to create a project file. It will include the model, your settings, and the Pixel S1.

From what I see of the STL file there are some extremely delicate features within the skull. I really see no way to print this successfully. Removing the supports would likely destroy parts of the model. I didn't have any trouble slicing it for my Ender 3 Pro either (but you knew that).

Thanks Greg - I'm really struggling here right now. I've been figuring out how to make STLs from Dicom files right now. I'm their only option - 3D printing - especially for these kinds of applications is almost non-existent in India right now - they need it for medical purposes. The patient is an old customer of mine. He had a horrible accident and his mom called me to help his son out. I'm gonna have a sleepless night today but let's hope for the best - at least I'm making progress. This model is a lot cleaner now. I'm still wondering how i'll get it to print. it's a miracle he's still alive after this. I'm just praying for a miracle with this print too. they need 3 sections so maybe that will work out somehow.
