A big piece disappears after slicing
I need some assistance (I'm a 3D printing noob) 😥
I'd like to print the following piece: 9v battery cover for remote control taiyo rc vintage (from Thingiverse)

When I open the file in Prusaslicer I first turn it upside-down so the biggest piece is on the plate:
But after slicing it,this happens:
I have no clue what I'm doing wrong... any assistance would be greatly appreciated
RE: A big piece disappears after slicing
You'll need to zip the .3mf model and upload it here to get a better answer. But usually when things disappear its due to thin walls, parts not attached or floating, etc. Basic issues with the part itself.
RE:
The model from Thingy is broken and needs to be repaired. Right click it and select Fix by Windows Repair Algorithm.
And you'll probably need supports for the latch and ears.

I don't seem to have an option "Fix by Windows Repair Algorithm" 🤔Â

If you don't have that option, are you on a MAC or Linux system? Here's a fixed copy of the stl.

Thank you! That worked 🙂
I'm on Windows, but don't have that option... it requires an install of some sort?
