Could you please check the 3D step model for this micro-USB connector?
Upon inspection the 3D model for your site & Amphenol's, the manufacturer's site(amphenol-cs.com/micro-usb-101181920001lf.html) in FreeCAD & KiCad, the 3D STEP models seems to be wireframe-only; In KiCad 6.0.9 it is completely invisible (3D Preview in "3D Models" tab of "Footprint Properties"). Could you please fix this and add proper faces to the 3D model, so that it renders correctly in KiCad?
Note that the .igs model from the manufacturer works, but has a ~100mm offset from origin and unnatural colors (orange & green).

Hi there!
Thank you for raising this up. Upon checking, the 3D model for this part was provided directly by the manufacturer.
I have reported this to our mechanical team and we will let you know as soon as we have an update.
Thanks,

Hi again!
Upon investigation, our team found that the 3D model was importing as surfaces which is what was causing the issue.
That said, we have now updated the 3D model for this part. Feel free to download it again and use it in your design.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Ana Trujillo from the SnapEDA team.

Hi Ana!
I just checked the updated model and it is indeed fixed, both in SnapEDA's website 3D preview and KiCad's 3D preview.
Thank you so much for your timely response!
Cheers, Kajetan Wierszelis
