Slicing and/or STL error?

Hello!

I'm trying to create a BatCase for iPhone 5C... The attached stl file looks great in Simplify3D but once sliced there are gaps in the model that I do not want.

Perhaps (probably) there is an error in the STL file but I cannot solve that; I do not have the skill necessary :-(

Could anyone please fix this STL file?
Or fix Simplify3D so that it correctly slices what appears to at least look correct in the viewer...

If you need help finding out what's wrong with your STL file or how to fix it, I would start here:

Obviously, you aren't going to be able to get people to fix it for you every time there's a problem, so it's a good thing to learn ;)

You can just run it through using one of the repair services. I would recommend you try https://makeprintable.com/ for a quick fix.

Thank you!

There were not many public services that were able to spit something out... Just infinite please-wait-progress and in the rare cases something did pop out it was all meshy :roll:
