It seems to have a lot of problems. Each blade and hub are separate meshes. That would probably be okay but there are a lot of errors in the meshes. You see some of them just by looking at the bottom around the hub. Here is one of the sets of blades with the hub removed and you can see more of the p...

Looks like it's waiting for the temperature to stabilize.
T:224 is the temperature of the extruder which is showing 4 degrees above 220C in your example.
What temperature is the bed set at?

If you don't want it to wait, there is a check box for each heater in the temperature tab.

Hi Jim, Okay I'll give up my secrets :D I get the best results from the Web based version. https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net You need a Microsoft account (such as for Xbox live) but it's free and super simple. Just upload the STL and download the fixed version. The latest beta of Kisslicer revealed ...

The STL file is bad.
It contains 12 separate sub-meshes.
Merging in S3D just created different problems.

Netfabb was able to mostly fix it. (still has an odd string on top.)
(For what it's worth, Kisslicer was able to slice it okay.)

+1 I get a lot of models that are designed by engineers in space relative to the assembly that they are working on. Or the face you want to lay on the bed happens to have some draft applied to it. S3D doesn't support that but it would be very nice. The slicing software that comes with Stratasys prin...

With all due respect, what you are describing is certainly not typical as far a I know. Sparse infill is of course designed to do what you describe: Provide internal support and reduce the mass of the plastic to reduce heat buildup and warping. Automatically adding support to an enclosed hollow volu...

Why not make the cube solid and reduce the infill percentage to a low values such as 10%, like this:

Am I missing something?

You might want to try moving the part or rotating it. That shouldn't make any difference, but apparently it can. Here is rotated 45 degrees.

They have multiple meshes.
Go to the '"Advanced" tab and turn on "Merge all outlines into a single solid model".
