Fuzzy skin changes an object to be a marker for where to place 'Fuzzy' on other objects. So the object that is set to fuzzy does not print on its own.
Hope that helps.
Science, technology, programming and family - my passions and my work! I love what we are doing at MatterHackers and can't wait for the future we are building with the help of the worlds makers.

If you can send me the saved MCX, the printer profile (un-changed from when it creates the error) and a screen capture of the problem or the part, I would love to look into what is happening.

Thanks in advance, Lars.
Thanks @tinken for sending the files. We'll look into what might be causing the errors and try to get a fix together.
If you can send me the .mcx file that has the error I would love to look into it. It needs to have the combine still in it.
Thanks.
It has always been part of PRO. There may be a way to get it to export without buying it, but there isn't supposed to be .
Threads is part of MatterControl Pro. You need to have purchased MatterControl Pro, or Threads, to export them.
Does you part have lots of overlapping pieces? MatterControl is trying to merge them on export so that it will produce a good STL that can be used in other software.
You may want to check if there are a lot of loose parts that are duplicates of each other. Or you might be able to combine some of the parts together before exporting.
We will work on having a solution that can export without merging when there are too many parts or the bed is too complex.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I believe this has been repaired by the most recent update. Please let me know if it is now working for you.
A fix has been issue for the slow down bug.
Thank you for reporting this.
You can find them here.
And here is the most recent one (as of this message):
Support For Holes
MatterControl now supports Holes. Holes are an intuitive and powerful way to think about designing parts. They create the ability to mark any object in the scene as a negative space. When a hole is combined with another object it will automatically be subtracted.
The hole object can be dragged to the scene and combined with other objects to make holes
Any object can be converted to a hole and it will be subtracted when grouped
Transparent Rendering
You can now set any part to have transparent rendering to help with modeling and placement.
Fuzzy Surfaces
Select any part in the scene, right click it and and 'Convert to Fuzzy Region' in the Modify -> Printing menu. With this tool you can now create a fuzzy effect on any surfaces you want.
Any object can be converted to a region that defines where fuzzy will be applied
Part Settings Object (PRO Tool)
Now with MatterControl PRO you can create settings for a specific part and save them with it. This is tremendously useful when doing commercial printing or adjusting settings that are specific to a single part. Settings are only saved when using MCX files (MatterControls native format). NOTE: Setting are applied to the entire print bed not each part. Separate part settings will be available in a future update.
Settings added to the scene are saved with the design
