Can't 3D print my model

After ending the modeling process, I wanted to 3D print my model, I apply the solodify modifier, and whater I solidify or not, the resulting stl won't slice properly.

I have 468 non-mainford verts (don't know it it matters.)

If I add smooth modifier, I get weird results.

If I try to slice the .blend I shared on this post (exported as stl) I shared here, holes can be seen.

I would recommend that you use Ultimaker Cura to slice 3D models, as it is a free and powerful program that supports almost all 3D-printers. It has never failed me yet. https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-connect – Nate_Sycro27 Jan 05 '20 at 14:18
In order for the slicer to have a good chance of properly slicing your model you'll want to try and give it a manifold mesh, free from self-intersections, thin walls, etc. This tutorial is a bit older but perhaps useful? – gandalf3 Jan 05 '20 at 15:58
Already checked it. Didn't work – Lahey Corey Jan 05 '20 at 17:48
