Hey,
The thickness of the wall seems to be very small when compared to the full model. It seems to be around <0.1mm. The meshing is taking so long because of too many elements being generated.

You can try 2 things one is cut the model to small part and check if the meshing succeeds for that small part and how many elements are being generated for that cut part.
Second is to use shell elements for such small thickness bodies.

Let me know how it goes.
