I ran the original file from dropbox through 3DS MAX and did the STL check....it found no errors. Then I loaded it into Cura 4.8 (I have not upgraded since I saw a bit of chatter about issues with it) and got no error when loading or slicing. What version of Cura gave the error?

I've got a system for bad models.
If Cura complains about an STL, I check it and analyze it with the Mesh Tools. This didn't tell me anything other than "Not Watertight.
Then I start IdeaMaker and load the STL. In my opinion it has better mesh repair tools. That didn't tell me anything either and in fact didn't find any errors with the model. That was a clue.
Next, I upload to Service.NetFabb.com and so far there has only been one model I uploaded that it couldn't repair. In this case it did repair the file but as is typical, it didn't tell me what was actually wrong with it.
So I used MS 3D builder. It also repaired the file but didn't tell me what was wrong.
My final check is to slice the bad model and the repaired model side by side (if possible) and look for differences. This time I didn't see any.
So my opinion (keeping in mind that I'm only on the Junior Varsity here) is that there ain't much wrong with it.
Attached is the repaired file. In this instance I think the original file would have sliced fine.
