You can use the "File | Save Project" command and the 3mf file will have the model, your printer, and all your settings, support blockers, etc. You can open it back up in Cura and everything shows up just as it was.

The ability to slice a feature is tied to the width of the feature and is controlled by the line width you set in Cura (or any other slicer). The line width in turn is closely tied to the nozzle diameter. Cura settings like "Horizontal Expansion" and "Print Thin walls" also have an effect. The new settings "Outer Wall Inset", and "Split Middle Line Threshold" can have an effect as well.
The tines of a comb present a special problem. They really need two passes to complete so the nozzle goes up and comes back on the same tine. If it was one pass then the nozzle would need to jump to the next tine. That usually results in stringing. The new Cura 5.0 is really good at this. It uses variable line width and can put finer lines into a slice. That allows narrower features to slice.
You didn't mention your nozzle size. You can push a .4 nozzle down to around .35 line width (that would work well with tines that are .70 wide). Give that a try and slice the comb again. If it still doesn't slice the tines then as an experiment select a smaller nozzle size in Cura and check the preview.
Another thing that can keep areas from slicing is if they are not watertight. When there are gaps between two adjacent surfaces then Cura becomes confused about what is "inside" and what is "outside" and won't slice.

I'll go through the settings.
I have to start writing down All of the Changes I Make! 🤪🤪🤪
