Hello found my problem, my Laptop has no enough memory. I have Importe the upper part of the speak er as stl. It us running and cab be redndert very fast, perhaps couse made with openScad. So I selected Another stl File and did render. What I had to see was the spwaker part was missing and the elephan was there. Problem is clear now.Thanks for the replay.

OpenSCAD like most other programms doesn't make use of the normals at all. It
recalcs them from the vertices. You can check that by rendering and
exporting

cube(10);

e.g. to my.stl. Open the STL with an editor and modify the normals as you
like. Then import the result and check:

import("my.stl");
cube(1);
