Missing model structure.

I'm trying out PrusaSlicer and I'm really liking the print quality I get from it, but I've just noticed an issue with how the slicer is interpreting stl files. I'm in the process of printing out a RC airplane, and the designer has created a volume with modeled infill structure.  When I slice it, the interior pieces of the volume are removed leaving a large unsupported area.  Cura seems to handle these areas just fine.  Is there a setting I'm missing to get these areas back?  If you'd like to have a look at the files yourself, they can be found here:

The fuselage in particular is what I'm looking at.  Part Fuse2 or Fuse3.

Thanks for your reply!  Under the deck there are supposed to be ribs running the length of the part. as well as a vertical support in the center.

By the way, "Fus2_wo_LG.STL", has errors in the file, and would be best repaired with netfabb.

Yep.  That did it.  Thank you!  I couldn't say about the errors.  I might have to take a look at netfabb later.  These aren't my files, but maybe I'll learn something along the way.

RE: Missing model structure.

Could you share the project file including your settings,so far,and the model files. Could you also advise which version I prusa slicer you are using. 

 

Note. The project file must be zip compressed or the forum will not attach the file. Regards Joan
