Create a hole in body of Revolve

Hi,

 

I'm fairly new to 3d design and 3d printing.  I'm trying to create a hole in this object that I made the body with Revolve.  When I import it in to Bambu Studio it says it has non-manifold edges.  After slicing it, the hole closes up.  Any suggestions?  I've tried a few different things like trying to combine both the bodies to a single body but could not do so.  I've made the hole with the hole feature as well as doing just an extrude but the same thing happens when I go to slice in Bambu.

There are two different Revolve commands.

One in surfaces.

And another one in Solids.

You probably intended Solids.

Surface bodies are infinitely thin and have no volume.
