How did you get the wing to be a solid surface at the leading and trailing edge? When I use the spiralize setting in CURA to print in vase mode it leaves both open.

I am not sure if it helps you, in PrusaSlicer it works just fine. I have place the wing with the trailing edge on the board and sliced it in vase mode. That creates a wing that is closed at the trailing edge (as vase mode lets you set a number of bottom layers). On the leading edge there is a tiny little opening in the middle, which is the highest point of the print. I guess it was supposed to be that way.
