Continuous infill when flat
So trying to print a bracket for some slat wall. When I slice it with it facing the flat, the easy printing direction, it prints the flat top and then adds the curve. While I'm sure it's strong enough I want the infill to continue between parts. If I put it on its side it prints this way with the infill continuous thru the shapes of the part, but the supports for that would suck. So I think the part isn't the problem, just a setting somewhere. I didn't see anything that look obvious.

RE: Continuous infill when flat
Please attach a Prusa slicer project so users can actually see the issue you are talking about.
Use file>save project as from PS to save a 3mf file. The 3mf project file is a complete snapshot, so allows others to slice with the same settings you are using, including part placement, supports etc.
when you have the 3mf be sure to ZIP it up and then attach it. It must be zipped or the forum won’t accept the file type. The forum only allows a very limited selection of types.

Here is a version both sideways and flat....just in case there is some difference.
Thanks!
RE: Continuous infill when flat
The strongest direction is going to be printing it on its side given the layer adhesion is the weakest direction.
When printed 'flat' there is no way to control prusa slicer in the amount of ingress the top layers make under other features that come later. Usually on github there are complaints when it doesn't do an unbroken layer like you have (so people want it to do exactly what you don't want it to do). If the infill is carried on through or not is determined by PS and the size of the features.
You could modify the model to add in some small internal voids in that area which would force extra perimeters through there to make it stronger. Btw the majority of a parts strength comes from the perimeters and not infill.
If you do print with the current model then have a look at the attached modified version of your project. I've modified the orientation of the part on its side and used the paint on support options combined with the support enforcers only option to give more control of where support is placed (on both parts). This gives a better use of supports and if you have your live z dialled in and your bed is properly clean you should have no trouble printing it like that. I've printed far taller and thinner things in this manner.
