my first helping post: typically netfabb online will fix the problem. i
have yet to have a non-manifold STL not pass corrected through netfabb. you
load the STL into the interface and and then download the fixed file. slice
with the fixed file. if that doesn't work then the original STL might be
really badly messed.
