Thank you both, makes perfect sense now.

I recently got into 3D printing and am trying to print out a multi-piece model. The original models are way larger then I would like mine to be (Almost full dimensions of printer bed). Using Cura I downscaled the entire model to 35% and foudn that some supports and the small connected details that they support which were there when the model was larger are now gone which has caused many blemishes when trying to print my models without the necessary supports. I realize that downscaling a model can ahve negative effects on the piece, however the model is still relatively large. Could it be an issue with my support settings? Any advice helps, thank you. Below I have attached some screenshots. At 100% the detail is perfectly supported and modeled. At 50% the model is supported however you can see that the lines are not connected all the way along the piece and are seperated slightly. Finally, at 35% (size of interest), the model does not have supports, and prints two blops of filament in thin air that don't even resemble the small piece.
