Slicing Error

Having a problem getting S3D to properly slice a thin tube. Screen shots and the STL are attached. I thought it was just a display error, so I printed it, but it printed that way.

So I uploaded it to https://modelrepair.azurewebsites.net, and the repaired file slices the same way.

I've played around with settings, but nothing I do makes any difference. It always slices that way. For reference, other slicers don't seem to have a problem.

It's the classic thin wall problem.

Do a search for "thin wall" on the forum and you'll find the answer to your question.....

Thanks. Was able to fix it once I knew what to look for.
