I'm trying to print an object I created in Cinema 4D, it's a cylinder with a solid wall inside. The export to stl goes f

I'm trying to print an object I created in Cinema 4D, it's a cylinder with a solid wall inside. The export to stl goes fine, but when I slice it on Slic3r the inside wall disappears.

Here's the object in Cinema 4D;

And here it is once I slice it on Slic3r

There's probably a simple setting that I'm missing, but can't find it yet. This whole 3D printing thing is still very confusing. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you have your infill set to 0?

Looks like there are no top and bottom layers and no infill.

I think you wolud get two concentric cylinders if you printed it at the moment. Try 15% infill and at least three top and three bottom layers. Preferably more top and bottom layers.
