Slicer keeps leaving gaps in model

I have sliced this thing every way I can. I’ve run it through FreeCAD and MeshLab’s non-manifold repair. The STL is solid, but the slicer consistently leave huge gaps between sections of the model. I can’t run the slicer’s mesh repair because, of course, it’s not available in Linux. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes, give me the model, I’ll see if I can repair it and then tell you how I did it.

Try that. This was after fixing it in MeshLab. Bambu Studio still says it has non-manifold edges.

See if it works already. I have repaired the edges in Bambustudio with the Windows service. I have no errors when slicing.

PS: I can’t fix everything with MeshLab. To be honest, it’s pretty bad at it. I’ve often tried that too.

That looks perfect, thank you!

No problem, gladly again.

I think im having the same issue. this is driving me crazy because im super new at 3d 2 weeks old maybe someone can help?

It is hard to help without seeing your print result or actually having the model to reproduce the issue.

If you downloaded the model, a link would help.

Try starting a new topic of your own, with a picture or (even better) a project file. Those would provide the information we need to see the problem and find the cause.

Gaps sometimes occur if a model has a part thinner than a single line width or a single layer. It will disappear after slicing because it cannot be printed.
