Printing Size Issue

Hello,

I am trying to print a 3D medical model of actual size through Prusa slicer.  The model itself looks like it should fit on the print bed, however the "white box outlines" are outside of the print margins.  They seem to be much larger than the actual image and I think the reason I cannot print this model.  I would prefer not to cut it in half and print twice.  Any suggestions or way I can decrease the "white margins" to be more fit to the actual model?  I have attached a picture of what I am talking about.  Thank you,

I think your STL is not clean. Check it and get it fixed here: https://service.netfabb.com/login.php (account reqired).

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.

I actually just figured it out.  You were correct about the .stl file being the issue.  I went back and re-processed it and it was able to get it to export to a more tight fit, which now fits exactly to the model.  Thank you for the help!
