continuing to work on this file. mesh to NERBS, NERBS to mesh... 
UPDATE: fixed, holy shit.
found that the problem stemmed from inadequately filling up a hole in the surface with a "surface planar" command giving this "patch" zero thickness. thus Pruca Slicer read this as an error and left 3-4 entire printing levels, or slices, blank. a proper repair to the model was demonstrated using a solid placed inside the area to fill, working as a patch with printable dimensions. lesson learned 💀👍

We had a little brainstorming sesh and concept generation in class. At first I suggested creating the paper model based on the castle project.  That proved to be a little too complicated, so I then suggested thinking about another well liked Minecraft character. the Ender Dragon was the first, and most enthusiastic response. My super smart group mates took off with the design aspect of the project, choosing to work from home. After in class check ins and discussions were had, we all met up in the Thing Tank to assemble the paper model. Fabrication of this design was difficult, to say the least. Small tabs to connect the shapes...
