[chbot] STL file vs 3D printer frustration..

Hi-ho folks...

I'm having a bit of frustration with the slicer for my 3D printer...

Using a Davinci 1.0 with their standard software and 50% of the time
.stl files out of openscad cause the program to crash outright, but
another file will work fine.

I'm assuming there is something wrong with my model, but it's a really
simple parametric enclosure base / box...

Can someone using a difference slicer (or maybe the xyzprinting one?)
have a go at opening this stl file and see if you can see what the issue
is?  (74k stl.. Just a widdle one)

I asked on one of the 3D forums and all I got was a bunch of various
fanboys telling me to replace my slicer and hack/flash my 3D printer
which I really can't be bothered with as openscad files are the only
problems I've had with it and the print quality is fine for what I want
although I know their slicer is a bit poos.

Cheers, Chris H.
