STL export or save fails

I'm trying to export to STL for 3D-printing and it keeps failing. 

I have exported several models before, but this one keeps failing. I have tried three different ways, all of which fail.

- the "Export" which starts an export job - fails after a long time of trying. Seems unusually slow.

- right clicking and selecting "Save as STL" - fails when I click OK

- selecting 3D print - fails when I click OK

 

The model is a vase with ribs. It's not overly complicated I think. I have made other vases which were equally complex and they exported fine.

 

This is the error message:

Error: Autodesk Translation Services failed to translate the current document to stl file!
Error: STL Translator failed to export data

 

Here is a link to the model:

Hello,

 

It seems to be a bug with the binary format because the export works if you select ASCII format:

If you really want to export a binary file, you can use my add-in 3D Print Plus (see in my signature below).
