Missing middle section when slicing part on its side?

· Missing middle section when slicing part on its side?
When the model orientation on the build plate affects the slicing the problem is often in the model. The Cura warning states that the model isn't watertight and in X-ray view there are issues with the hat and neck as well as other places.
Here is an STL file repaired with MS 3D Builder. If you print this you might have to do something with the hat. The interior is hollow and so there is no infill to support the upper cone.
I might be inclined to print the lower portion without the hat (use a support blocker configured as a cutting mesh) and then print the hat separately and glue it on. The hat requires a lot of support and it's tough to get the support over the shoulders. The 3mf file isn't tweaked but it shows what I'm talking about.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
