Can't dig holes in hollowed out models

2021-1-23 9742

Many times when trying to dig holes i get the error message "not hollowed out or to deep to dig". 


What is casuing this, I have tried this both by hollowingout the model in Chitubox or in other 3rd party programs. I can understand it when trying to dig a hole though a complex part of a model, but in some cases i can dig a hole though one side of the model but not the other even though they seem the same? 


This is really frustrating and prevents me printing some models.

    Ensure that the depth of the hole is greater than the wall thickness

    I am getting the same issue with version 1.9.2.  My wall thickness is 5mm and I have tried holes from 0 to 8mm and keep getting the same error.

    Same issue here - did anyone find a solution (working on 1.9.4).

    Same in 1.9.2. and 1.9.4 .
    Can't dig any holes.
    This may or may not be related to infill geometry but we hollow, then make holes and then create infill. So a user can't solve it.

    I think the problem lies with the hollowing step - I can't dig holes in 1.9.5 on models hollowed in 1.9.5 but if I hollow them first in 1.9.1 and save, I can then dig holes in 1.9.5 using the saved file. Hollowing a 0.9mm in both cases, using 2mm deep holes and 5mm diameter.

    The error message you are receiving, "not hollowed out or too deep to dig," typically appears when the software is unable to detect a clear path for the hole to be dug out.
