Prusaslicer removing embedded supports
I realized recently that Prusaslicer is removing supports that are built into a model. What are some things that would be the cause of this? .3mf file attached; See the pics below:

Plane wings require special settings, in many cases these settings can be acquired from the maker of the model, or even forums specific to model plane building.
I have never built one, however I know just enough to be dangerous. In this Case changing your "Slice gap closing radius" 0.032 will cause the internal structures to be printable, I would explore the settings further as I understand that the "Slicing Mode:" and several other very fine tune settings may need to be altered. it may also be prudent to turn of "Elephant foot compensation" at these extrusion widths. I'm noticing several conflicting settings I really don't know if they were intentional or not, perhaps someone with more knowledge of plane model printing will chime in. In the mean time try these suggestions.
Hope this helps

No .3mf file got attached. You need to ZIP .3mf files or the forum server won't attach them.

I'm still not seeing anything attached. Is your file too big? Over 10 MB?

I do have the OEM step files, but a couple things avert me from using them. 1) I want to learn optimal print settings for making wings, 2) I'm prototyping off of the OEM model - adding solar cells and using different print material than what's prescribed.

Jesus Christ, my friend, is there *anything* you DON'T know... 🙂 This is scary. I've never even HEARD of Slice gap closing radius...

Funny thing though, it worked 🙂

I'm sorry, genuinely. I've been dealing with this my entire life. I cant help it. I'm almost 60, it's to late for me, save your self. I had the same problem with the ILM guys.
I don't do it on purpose.

I'm just happy to be part of a community that has folks like you, who have forgotten more about this stuff than I'll ever know, help others out. Sincerely grateful.
