I can view the stl using meshlab and it looks fine. When I try and slice it I end up getting just a single one layer circle.

Have you repaired the file? If not try running it through cloud.netfabb.com .

Ok I download it and it is scaled incorrectly. It measures only 1.024mm x 0.709mm x 0.315mm

It may have been made and exported in Imperial units or maybe cm instead of mm's

Oh weird. Your right the stl has weird dimensions. I checked the original sketchup file and it's got the correct dimensions.
