Then I loaded it in Fusion 360 and it seems like it is about 37 meters from top-to-top, and about 8 meters across each of the narrow sections.
The slide pieces are about 21 mm thick.
To shrink 37 meters to a 200mm wide build plate, that is 1/185th scale. That is also going to scale the thickness of the sheets making them about 0.12 mm thick. This is too thin to print.
I would suggest pre-scaling it in whatever modelling tool you are using, so that it will fit in the build volume. Then adjust the thicknesses so that they are at least 1mm at that overall smaller scale (and that's assuming you've got a 0.4mm nozzle.

Your model is probably thinner than the line width.
