    I made it from scratch in Sketchup, then tried to slice it and didn't work. Then I uploaded it to Thingiverse so I could try to get som help to get it to slice

    Ahh! Then the problem is likely to have its origin in you drawing. Is it possible to go through the drawing history in Sketchup to see it you can see an error?

    I have had a look at your file using Rhino 5 and saw that all the elements had not been joined to make one object. I joined them and produced the attached stl. Try slicing it.

    OMEs repair attempt.stl
