That is a really bad model.  In addition to not being watertight, it has numerous surfaces that don't fit right.  I tried to do something with it in MeshMixer but I don't know that software very well although I made some progress.  The way your model is now it will not slice and won't print.

    But it seems the new file is also not correct. Do you use Sketchup to design the model? If so, please use something else, this software is known to generate files which are not printable.

    And here your repaired STL from the netfabb service I mentioned above. Looks better and should work I think.

    Smithy was faster.... again... 🙂 - but anyway:

    Somehow i doubt that it is supposed to look like this....? So probably.... nope.

    A solid, manifold, "watertight" object is crucial for 3D printing. This one is a mess of 43 separate shells with either unconnected or intersecting faces. Partly with wrong normals and so on.

    You should consider to use a CAD program for modeling of such things...

     

    If you want to repair it manually, there are several tutorials, something like this:

    A woodcut "print" by a Dutch artist too.  I'd have thought somebody here would have noticed that the model looked a lot like MC Escher's "Relativity".

    I am sorry that it was not useful, but unfortunately it can happen with an auto repair function.

    Best is to use a good CAD software and not Sketchup (I assume you use it 🙂 ) then you don't need to repair it.

    you did the best....yes i use skechup.... i´ve already draw the model in fusion and there is no errors.... thanks again man

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
