Can't get Slic3r to slice this part correctly

I'm trying to print a gear (can't seem to attach the STL file here), but however I orient it, Slic3r seems to skip a few layers here and there. Since it's different areas for different orientations, I assume the STL file is not "unhealthy". I've tried to re-export a few times and even tried .obj instead, but same result.

I've printed similar parts before without problems.
I'm running Slic3r 1.39.1 and default settings for MK3 with 0.25 nozzle

Any advice?

Attached both STL and OBJ in a zip file.

...and printed nicely with your gcode. Thanks a lot for your help! I have been considering switching to S3D, might have to do so now. Is it better than Slic3r for other things as well in your opinion? How about surface quality on supported surfaces? (another thing that is bad with Slic3r IMO)
