Single objects gets separated into different parts whenever (Prusa)sliced
Hi
I've been working on this project for a phone case which I took me a while too complete (I've made some different variations design wise). I admit that I've made some mistakes and learning that parts of the object for some reason or another hadn't been connected or have been detached through the designing process; but even after connected all of the parts together, painstakingly deleting faces, edges and even vertexs and filling them all in again the way that it should have been, it still hadn't fixed the issue when slicing them within the Prusa Slicer software, it still divides the single object. Here are some examples:
As you can see from the Blue parts of the orange, it's indicating that there is a gap inbetween them, whereas this is not the case or how it was designed with Blender.
I'm just really confused where it's doing this to some of my designs and I can't seem to learn from this, fix the issue and avoid it in the future again.
I'd appreciate it if someone could perhaps give me some pointers which might be the cause of these gaps within a single solid object.
Any tips, guides or advice, or even any request for further information would be very well appreciated.
Thank You

If you look you will see an orange triangle next to your part in the tree list view. This indicates errors in your stl files. Basically your output from Blender is broken.
If you haven't already, turn on the 3d print tool in the blender add on in preferences. Its very easy to use and can indicate issues with your meshes.
If you need further help then I'm afraid you are going to have to attach the blender file to a reply here so that we can look at it and see how you constructed the original mesh.
Remember that if attaching any files to the forum here that you need to ZIP them up. As the forum has very limited allowed file types. It just wont attach them. So its always best to check they get attached immediately after posting, given the forums OTHER annoying quirk, that of a very limited editing window.
