I have been trying to print this vase (Siamese_Orchid_Vase.stl) that I found online at Thingiverse. When trying to slice the .stl with Slic3r I keep getting an error “out of memory”. My computer is an XP with 4GB of memory. Is this right or is the stl file bad?

Meshlab shows no vertices in this model. The preview confirms this. Don't know what happened, but the STL file seems empty.
Under one of the slicer settings, you can set how many threads you run. One some huge models, I have had to reduce it to 1 thread instead of 2 threads to get the model to slice without problems.
It is more typically however a problem with the file. try running the file through netfabb.
Found the thing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26251 but the file size is 34MB. Quite a difference from the 2.86 you have there. I'm slicing now, but at that file size it would run out of memory on a lot of smaller machines.
Just pulled the thing into meshlab as it was grinding my system to a halt. 720K facets on this sucker. This would make anything but a high memory-high cpu system crawl. It's a nice design, and it's a clean mesh, but, boy, is this thing tri-heavy!
I just got a round to setting threads to one with Slic3r and it sliced with out a problem.
thank you
