I think I wasn't getting the model truly maniform in the desktop version of netfabb.  I just put one of the same models I was having problems with through the cloud version and the stl looks fine in Kisslicer.

I had actually already downloaded netfabb and run it through the repair.  Maybe I didn't pick the right options on it or something.

I find it will find (and fix) just about anything without messing up the model.  Also- you don't have to wait for cloud processing.  Your PC will do it in seconds.

Cheers
