Hello,
I recently got a 3-d printer and have been trying to print this mold for some fishing baits. I designed them myself in Fusion 360, but when I take the design to the Cura Slicer, it adds or subtracts weird geometry, like triangles and rectangles where there should be a flat surface and flat out ignores other parts of my design, like the air vents on the right sides of both pieces of the mold. I have tried messing with the mesh settings, but cannot figure it out. I have also attached pictures on how it should look, and then how the slicer is conceiving it. The pictures on the prepare tab are how it should look. I included a zoomed in picture as well to highlight the small air vents I have in there that go horizontally across the whole mold. The picture on the preview tab is how Cura is slicing it. I have also included the layer before it does the weird geometry and then the layer that adds it. I would appreciate any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks!

Thank you for your advice. I was messing with it for awhile and it actually appeared that while using circular holes for the air vents, the slicer was not getting the mesh correct up to a certain radius of the holes which was .35 mm. I changed the air vents to squares and everything worked fine after that. Thank you again for weighing in on my problem, I really appreciate it.
