@CarbonAlpine Amazing model. Did you publish anywhere? I'd like to print for a full size mock up horse I made.

@MissJinx there are a few but some are just rebadged versions of other slicers. Prusa/Orca and Slicer are two I have tried.
@MissJinx I've had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.
Did you try changing the vase mode settings?
Some models don't work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.
You might try a different slicer?
@AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?
I've found it to be complimentary to Meshmixer. It has a nice combine function to simplify complex models.
@AlexanderTheGreat it's old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.
Let's you split and combine as well as align
@RegalPotoo @Wilshire good point. Release agents are used for casting concrete. They look to be oil and water mix so I'm guessing most plastics would be compatible.
Also has to be a clear path out for the print/concrete.
@FearTheCron @YourAvgDuckHead According to encyclopedia Britannica, I'd say a fairly reliable source, your out by a factor of 100. https://www.britannica.com/science/chromosome

Apologies for the pedantry, I couldn't help it.
@PeleSpirit @topinambour_rex yes, you can. With a dual extruder printer. Or if pause the printer mid way through and change the filament, is recommend using a printer with filament detect, it should move to the side so your prints don't get damaged by the hotend.
@Piecemakers3Dprints @CaptainFlintlockFinn as a one time chemist I'd agree that there is a real possibility some trace materials in the resin causing some harm in prolonged contact. The resin may be set but could potentially leach some of the other materials such as unreacted ingredients, catalysts etc. In the same way that cheap jewellery can release alloying metals that cause irritation. A dermatologically safe varnish seems a sensible call.
