Failing trophy model, can this be fixed in Prusaslicer?

Hi all, I'm trying to print a 1966 world cup trophy for my friend but it keeps failing because there is a void between 2 flat surfaces inside the cup near the top, can this be fixed in prusa slicer? I did try inserting a burger shaped support between these 2 layers but I guess I did something wrong, here is my failed attempts using my Sovol SV04 on Pursaslicer 2.6 https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1132234

Looking at the design: it appears to have two nearly symmetrical faces, plus the cuts and overhangs look very simple when the faces are considered seperately.

I think the original was cast in two parts and joined back to back by the silversmith - you could copy that.

Use PrusaSlicer's cut facility to split it down the centre and rotate the parts to lie flat on the bed, you will need very little support, just a little at each end and then glue the halves together afterwards.

Cheerio,

Hummmmmm yer I guess that would work then the void would be vertical and each side supporting itself, worth a go cheers 👍
