So I was cleaning up an object in blender (mold I'm making of an eyelid to 3d print and pour silicone into) and things started going haywire. I filled a hole in some faces and the new face became purple (In solid mode, whether in object/edit mode) and I read online that could be because the faces didn't align properly. So anyhow I selected everything and recalculated normals, and now my mesh is dark grey (Pictured) enter image description here

I read that dark grey faces could be directly because of the normals (make sense) but I can't fix it! I'll recalculate them, look at them in face orientation mode, etc.. and they're still dark grey. Help!

Blend file if you're interested:

  • $\begingroup$ Isnt that because of material setup? (viewport color, second material slot) Please attach your blend via blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I had read that on other answers on here (that it could be because of material setup) but neither object in here has materials, and one isn't dark grey. I just tried to attach the blend on that link, THINK its processing at the moment? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It's not processing... it's waiting for you to press "upload" $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Hi, thanks for the post. This site is not a regular forum, answers should be substantial and thoroughly explain the solution and required workflow. One liners and short tips rarely make for a good answer. If you can edit your post and provide some more details about the procedure and why it works feel free to restore it, otherwise it may be deleted or converted into a comment. Perhaps add a few images illustrating the workflow and final results. See How do I write a good answer? $\endgroup$
