Posted · Gap problem in my 3D Model

Hi,

I want to get a 3D print of the cylinder file I have drawn on Solidworks.

When I want to print this file, there are gaps around the cylinder and it does not complete those gaps.

Although I turned on the thin wall feature, I could not solve this problem

I am sharing the pictures with you.

I would appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

    Is the tank solid or is it just a wall around an open area?  When you scale models down in size everything scales.  If the tank is empty, then the walls may have dropped below what Cura can successfully slice given your settings.

    As a test you can try turning on "Remove all Holes" and see if it will slice.  If that works it will likely be full of infill though and that might not be what you want.

    If that's the case you could try turning on Walls > Print Thin Walls and anything thinner than the minimum line width will be printed at the minimum line width.

    Thank you for your answers. I increased the minimum wall thickness and my problem is solved.
