Weird slicing after 5.0.1 update

Ok, I upgraded today to 5.0.1, no changes to my usual slicer settings and this is what happens. I'm printing an USB cable holder, that should look like this:

The result after slicing looks like this:

Here's the .stl file (from thingiverse, option 6/small):

What is the printer? I had similar issues which I have resolved.

Try this one. It had a ton of errors in the file.
At first it failed but then started working. I tried several printers and it is ok.

Were you able to try the file I uploaded?

Re: Weird slicing after 5.0.1 update

Just for reference, the original STL file doesn't appear to slice correctly in 4.1.2, 5.0.0, or 5.0.1 so I don't think this has anything to do with the 5.0.1 update. The original STL has a lot of mesh errors, but the repaired file wirlybird posted above seems to work!

Re: Weird slicing after 5.0.1 update

I see, thanks for the update.
Interesting that other slicers don't show that behaviour, though.

@wirlybird, what was your approach to fix these issues?

Re: Weird slicing after 5.0.1 update

Im having the same exact issues with nonmanifold files too!!

:(

THe only workaround ive found so far is to convert to solid using meshmixer but that introduces "noise" on the edges, this is WAY UNWANTED and UNEXEPECTED!!
