Is there a way to uncut/key a file? I want to print it all as one piece.

@AlexanderTheGreat it's old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.

Let's you split and combine as well as align

I tried using it but it kept leaving pockets where the keys where. Even if I used turn solid.

@AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?

I've found it to be complimentary to Meshmixer. It has a nice combine function to simplify complex models.

I've tried. I still get the pockets. I'll send a picture when I get home. I'm hoping Blender can fix it.
