<p>I am using an AnyCubic Photon Resin Printer. I have used the (<a href="https://wowmodelviewer.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WoW model viewer</a> to export a miniture that I am hoping to 3D print.</p>
<p>However, when I look at the model in photon workshop, certain parts appear in a different colour, and those parts are printing incorrectly on the final version. For example, if you look at the model below the headpiece feathers printed as a solid block all the way to the base of the model.</p>

<p>Looking at the slicing file, this is what photon workshop exported. I believe the issue may be that, because these are models deisigned for games and not 3d printing, they have only one surface and what I am looking at in Blue is what the photon workshop considers to be the inside of the model. Would ye be able to recommend any steps that I could do to adjust the models to allow them be 3D printed?</p>
