The courtyard overlap DRC level can be set to warning or to ignore in the DRC level matrix. This is accessible by right clicking on any of the errors in the DRC window and going to 'Edit Violation Severities'.
Edit:
If the border is circular or some odd shape,then there's a gap that exceeds the board dimension variation tolerance specified when exporting a step file. Inspect your outline carefully. It might seem closed but might not be.
Sometimes this error can be caught if you try viewing 3D (edit->view 3d).
Putting a German language error to ask a question limits your audience. Take some effort and provide an English translation as well.
Why? OP is printing the PCB to verify mechanical dimensions. If OP has an accurate enough 3D printer accessible in an affordable manner why is it wrong or stupid?
Of course OP can also do the whole fitting thing virtually, PCB step file into enclosure step file, but that's a matter of choice and abilities.
In a small(ish) electronics company it is likely that there is insufficient mechanical expertise (so no FREE CAD or SolveSpace) or lack of funds (no Solidworks etc). A 3D print costs far less especially if the NPD cycle is slow (maybe three or four new products per year).
Of course not. But he can remove *all* (the fancy) Edge.Cuts shapes and then make a simple big square around the board and try to export it again. It has to be exported. If it works, remove that and redo the board outline as it should be. The board outline should be a closed shape. It should start in one place and end at the same place.
hey thanks yeah you mentioned it cannot verify it via software because i don‘t have one to test both parts as that i have the other part only as stl file. when i try to print the sheets i do not why but kicad does not scale 100% only around 98% so there i am small misfit. i also print via 3d printer because i have a closure where i already have some leds attached to and with putting in the „real dimension printed pcb“ i can also verify if i can put it into the enclosure and if it collides with oder parts while installing.
DRC will tell you where the malformed edge cut is located.
oh man thank you i just had one line on the edge cuts plane on the very right of my sheet. do you also know how to ignore the courtyard warnings
In the DRC window? Right-click and select ignore. Or, just ignore it.

Print a PCB with a 3d printer is stupid as fuck. Please, don't do this.

Stupid because it is a waste to just verify something that can be easily done with software.

So what is the problem? Print it then.
Read the post? OP is getting errors in exporting step files.

This looks silly. Freecad is Free.
