I have tried printing this model (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:43488) in S3d and cant get it to slice properly, every time I try slicing it it is spit in half. I found this thread(http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:43488) while searching, sadly when i tell s3d to merge meshes it fills in the center hole as well. I tried merging the meshes in solidworks but could not get it to save as a stl(would error with improper geometry).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
