Thin walls or possible holes.

[mcweb 0]

Completely new to 3d printing with new Elegoo Neptune 4 plus, Elegoo Cura slicer 4.80. I am trying to print the attached model and I get holes in the generated gcode. How can I fix this? I have tried print thin walls, changing horizontal expansion, slicing tolerance inclusive exclusive, with varying degrees of result, none perfect. The file is the xmasv2_7p_s0.stl and I downloaded it from here: https://www.printables.com/model/347359-collapsible-christmas-tree-v20

 

How can I fix this?

 

BIG THANKS!

Print the model larger, with a smaller nozzle, or try reducing the Line Width.

If not for the fact that you actually need some strength for a model like this to survive, I'd almost think this was this person first discovering the "spiralise" feature and thinking "cool, what's the first thing I can do with this?".

 

More useful: also try messing with layer height. Up or down, not sure if either would make much of a difference. But half of slicing is messing with the settings until you get the output you want.
