Getting this error: No layers were detected. You might want to repair your STL file and retry.

I'm pretty new to 3d printing but I have successfully printed 2 objects and wanted to try an object I created myself in Sketchup, but Pronterface is having trouble loading it. Here's what it says

=> Processing triangulated mesh

No layers were detected. You might want to repair your STL file and retry.

=> Generating perimeters

=> Detecting solid surfaces

=> Preparing infill surfaces

=> Detect bridges

=> Generating horizontal shells

=> Combining infill

Can't call method "retract_length" on an undefined value at C:/PROGRA~2/printrun-win-Mar2012-slic3r/dist/Slic3r/lib/std/Slic3r/GCode.pm line 258.



0 mm of filament used in this print

the print goes from 1000000.000000 mm to -1000000.000000 mm in X
and is -2000000.000000 mm wide

the print goes from 1000000.000000 mm to -1000000.000000 mm in Y
and is -2000000.000000 mm wide

the print goes from 1000000.000000 mm to -1000000.000000 mm in Z
and is -2000000.000000 mm high

Estimated duration (pessimistic): 0 layers, 00:00:00


I have tried repairing the STL with Meshlab and also with Netfabb as outlined here

[forums.reprap.org]

but the problem remains. I'm using a Printrbot with Slic3r and Pronterface. I've attached my config.ini, as well as the STL in question if you'd like to try it yourself. Anyone dealt with these issues before?

Thanks in advance

Probably because its only 0.31mm by 0.31mm.
Figured it out! I forgot that I originally exported from Sketchup as .DAE and then converted it to .STL. Downloaded the Export as STL plugin for Sketchup and there was no problem.
