3D Printing Error

So, I made my model of the eiffel tower and everything on onshape was fine. I exported as a DXF and onto Bamboo Lab to print, but then i tried slicing plate but it didnt work. It said that there was error with the boolean operation. I did encounter this error before but when i used the circular pattern for my extrude remove, the error was fixed. Is there anything I can do to successfully 3D print this?

Probably because of the DXF export. Try STL or OBJ? I don't remember if Bambu slicer supports native CAD formats.
Bambu supports STEP. I would start there.
Wait, I did export as STL, I think the main issue was with Boolean operator, although this only came during the 3D printing process and not on Onshape
There should not be any booleans involved on the slicing level, if you exported but a single body. So, this raises a suspicion you might have exported multiple bodies that overlap.
