Fundamental misunderstanding: Top layer never appears in slicer
Hello, I've had tons of success with my Prusa but I keep running into this problem and could use some help. I have a square-ish object with a flat top. On the top I have some detail (in this case some pretty simple flat surfaces). When I slice the object in Prusa Slicer with default settings, it always ignores everything on the top.
