Problematic STL
Hello,
I'm trying to print a part that looks good in Meshmixer and PrusaSlicer until I slice it then it shows a large portion of it missing (see images below). I tried repairing it in Meshmixer and maybe I'm just not as fluent with that software but I can't seem to fix it. Is there anything obviously wrong with the stl that I'm overlooking? Any other suggestions you guys might have? The part is BadJUJUpart14 from Thingiverse linked here.
Thanks!

Actually I just force fixed it through Netfabb (super simple and I should have tried that to begin with). As for the detached parts, that's not a problem based on the orientation I will print it on also using a raft (and of course supports for overhangs). Problem solved!
RE: Problematic STL
Parts of that STL are not even attached. It is not really suited to 3D printing as-is.

RE: Problematic STL
Split into separate objects, this is what is really there. And the a few pieces are not manifold, nor even a true solid part.
