Problem with stl file, doesn't print correctly

Hi,
I am having great problems on doing this print,
I want to make and print a football shield.
When I use thingyverse to design and set up the shield, everything looks good, but when I come to use Slic3r, I slice it and then export the gcode. When I then look at the layers, lots of the shield is missing

Re: Problem with stl file, doesn't print correctly

If the missing bits are fine lines and details, you may be dealing with extrusions that are smaller than your nozzle size. Try selecting the 0.25mm nozzle configuration and slicing again. If the lines now show in preview, that's your problem.
