"Not printable" Error Message

Trying to print an extremely small part in nylon on my Mini with 0.25mm nozzle. The filament is made by Inman (for which there is no preset configuration), which has a recommended temperarure range of 230-260 C. When slicing, this error message is generated: "The print is empty. The model is not printable with current print settings." No indication as to which setting(s) may be at fault. No changes I have tried (layer thickness, number of perimiters, temperature, speeds, etc.) are making any difference. Suggestions? .3mf file attached.

Hmmm, I guess .3mf files are not attachable directly. Here's a .zip

Yes they have to be zipped. 

Wall is too thin. Turn on Detect thin walls. That makes it sliceable.

Thought I had done that but apparently had not. All fixed now, TYVM. Brings up one nagging question. If the slicer is "smart" enough to choke on any particular setting, why can't it be a little more helpful (verbose) in the error message? I realize any number of incompatible settings could render the model unprintable, but it stopped at a point certain in the slicing analysis, why not specify where that point was? Sorry, I'll go have another cup of coffee.
