Has anyone actually used these files for printing? I’m a total noob so probably missing something really obvious. But no matter how I try, I can’t get these models to slice into nice, solid, slices.

If I take the original files and load them straight into any slicer (screenshot taken from Chitubox but similar issues exist with other slicers) the layers appear hollow, even after slicing – I expected each layer to be a single, solid shape (where all parts are connected of course!) but the final render of the layers show holes everywhere…

So the question is…. after I’ve tried both the original file(s) and running it through MeshMixer and run the best quality “make solid” routine to create a single, supposedly solid, mesh – why has the final sliced model holes in the limbs? Isn’t this going to lead to uncured resin getting trapped inside the model?

If anyone has successfully sliced one of these minis as a fully solid model, care to share your secrets?
