I have run into my fare share of bugs with this project, but this one has us stumped... I am unable to print anything with a void. All empty areas are being filled in and I am not seeing a file issue or identifying exactly where in the GUI this is happening. Basically if I try to print a hollowed box, it comes out completely solid.

Anyone else had this issue yet?

I've seen everything slice as if its a solid object. I think it has to do with how it calculates what is inside and what is outside. Have you had the same issue with a box with an open top? What wall thickness are you using?

I've been having more troubles with other parts of this project. My latest issue is with the SD card. What shield are you using with the SD card? What pins on your Arduino Mega are you connecting it to?

Internal voids cannot be processed by the Pwdr software. You'll need a tiny gap to let the software 'find' the inner void.

I've seen that you solved the SD card problem. Because I added it later, the documentation wasn't up to date. I'll fix that as soon as possible
