Hi, I loaded a model and did all the settings and added support. However when I preview it, only the support will be printed and not my model.

Here are pictures of 3.4.1 and the STL file. Thanks so much in advance!test 2.stl

    There are a few posibilities.  I guess both are the same possibility: your part is too thin.  Try making your part thicker in CAD.  Or in cura try checking "print thin walls".  Or set the "line width" to 0.1mm just to see if it will print at all.  I can't tell by the pictures but it looks infinitely thin - if that's true then you need to go back to CAD and give it a thickness.

    By the way, the default minimum wall thickness is double the "line width" parameter in cura which is typically equal to your nozzle width.  So for a 0.4mm nozzle it typically needs to be 0.8mm thick when sliced (each horizontal cross section must be at least 0.8mm wide).  But with "print thin walls" I think you can go down 1/2 again, in this example to 0.4mm.  You can also set your "line width" down to about 75% of your nozzle width and still have reasonably good quality prints (but the more you reduce the worse it will get).

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
