3D Printing hollow models question

I've been printing a hollow model for a few days now, but keep failing.

I downloaded the models, and I think I have followed the steps correctly
This is the first time I've printed a hollow model

Can someone here tell me how to do this the right way
 
This thing can really be annoying, I remember a friend complaining of something similar sometime, I do nt know what he eventually did but maybe check the model settings and slicer options? It's a learning curve kind of thing, but you'll get it with patience.

Hmm. I hear you, that kind of stuff can drive you craaazy. Maybe double-check your slicer settings and then try a different profile just to rule it out? At least that's what I normally do it. Sometimes a single setting can make such a huge difference.
 
Yeah its kinda tricky at first. Make sure you've enabled "spiralize outer contour" (vase mode) if it's a single-wall print or properly set wall thickness and infill to zero for multi-wall hollow prints. Also check for proper supports if needed, and make sure the model is manifold (no gaps or errors). What slicer are you using?
