Hey @jhbf993 You could go over to Online 3D Printing Service | Instant 3D Printing Quotes | Hubs page and under “more filters” you can select “I can help with 3D modeling” and that will sort Hubs that can help you with fixing your files. There’s also a nice website for this : https://makeprintable.com/
Thx for the info!
If your model is simply not manifold (meaning there are gaps between faces, making it not watertight), you can simply upload it to the 3D Model Repair Service. It should fix most minor errors with your model.
If your model is inherently not 3D printable because of geometry or if it has major manifold issues, as @Arnoldas said you’ll have to find a hub that can help with 3D modeling services. You can usually ask them to repair models or split it into multiple to make it 3D printable.

If you’re looking for simple and easy to use the website, I would go with https://www.MakePrintable.com.
Its a 4 step process and requires little configurations or settings.
Just orient your model vertically and they have an interface that will enable you to do so.

There are several 3D repairing solutions that you can run your model through to make it printable. It depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for something free then you can use https://www.MakePrintable.com. If you’re looking for more features then you have Netfabb and meshmixer but you will have to pay for some of the features.
