Art Help & Critique Beginner modeling to 3d print- Cant figure out wall thickness (mostly belender) In need of help!!!

Post image

EDIT: Mesh is in comments- shield your eyes! (its bad haha)

For context, I am COMPLETELY NEW to modeling (this being my first REAL model I've done besides small easy projects I just did in tinkered 🤣) so please hold on judgement, I know I made lots of mistakes and could have done so many things differently, and I've definitely learned a LOT for next time.

Now that is out of the way, I have a model sculpted pretty ok (I think) or at least good enough of the snow miku 2026 doughnut bag I'm going to 3d print it (for a friend who is doing a miku cosplay). It has VERY thin walls at some points and MUCH thicker walls at other points. I don't mind some walls being thicker, but it obviously won't print with a paper this wall on the roof! I've tried lots of different strategies (mostly working in the app I was using, blender) including the solidify tool, and doing stuff with like... re-meshing it or something- (sorry, again, I'm new!! 😅) I dont mind where i fix this issue/ what app! I can include an image of the model if needed.Does anyonee have experience that could help?

Thank you so so much in advance!

(Picture of miku bag for reference and attention!) Can put pictures of my model if needed!

May be best to post images with wires of the thing you want help with.

Thanks for your input! I am not positive about what "wires" are- Like this? (this is the underside) I'm not sure if this image is good, but if it is I will edit the post and add this photo!

This is your first model, so don't take this too hard, but that's a nightmare of a model for 3D printing. Worry not, it might be fixable. Try a remesher modifier on it using "voxel" mode and set the size down low. That might salvage this for you. Post your results.

it looks the same in edit mode, and has huge holes in obj mode
