Strange Gaps in Preview Mode

Been running into an issue occasionally where the preview mode will show these gaps in certain areas of the model (see attached).

Strangely enough, I can sometimes manage to correct it by re-slicing the model. I haven't tried printing when the gaps are shown, as it does skip over those parts when I slide through the layers in the preview mode.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Post the factory file. This is usually because of mesh issues.

Re: Strange Gaps in Preview Mode

Turns out there were some problems with the mesh that were fixed when I ran the STL through netfabb. A little confusing how it would only fail sometimes though...
Slices without a problem now!
