[EDIT] - it's the "network send" feature - it corrupts files, see next reply/post from me on this topic for details. Elegoo, seriously, you couldn't figure out how to safely copy files over ethernet?
Randomly the slicer will go completely haywire - take slices out of the model, mirror them, and put them on the opposite side of the build plate. At the same time it generates rectangles that cover the entire build plate. See the image above. The worst part is, it's random, sometimes the slicer generates a valid print like this one
, and sometimes with the exact same settings, it makes slices like in the image.
This ruins prints. It also ruins FEPs and after only a week with my Saturn, it has already damaged my screen. The broken slices with the giant rectangles ripped parts off their supports which where then crushed against the FEP and screen by the parts that were still attached to the build plate.
When the slicer fails like this, it doesn't show in the 3D preview. In order to see broken slices, you have to save the slice file, and then re-import it.
Here is the file that was used to create the broken slice file in the image above: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ihm5V-KCZwPV71EnpNS-BWOKd-wMu1Ev/view?usp=sharing
I only recently figured this issue out - but already I can say it's happening a lot - all 3 of my most recent prints with completely different files have this issue.
