QUESTION Small holes ignored by cura

[Cheers 0]

Hi everyone! 
I wanna print this, with 4 holes inside (for magnets), but Cura ignores my holes. Remove all holes setting is not checked and normals are flipped correctly in blender. It's 2x2x1 cm and holes are 1x5 mm. I tried to search online, but I can't find anything that would make a difference, so I thought I'd try asking here.

I think your model needs some more work.  If you subtracted cylinders from your model to make the pockets it would appear they were not done correctly.

I would suggest you use the Setting Visibility too (to the right of the Setting Search box) and set the visibility to "All" so you can see what might be going on.  I think it's a model issue though.

You could post the STL file here.

I think the setting are fine for that print

I uploaded the stl file. It's just a test, how it would print and work, I thought it was simple enough. I used boolean for the holes.

It looks like it's something in your settings.  In the Experimental section make sure "Make Overhangs Printable" is turned off.  That one and remove holes are the only settings that should do this.

It worked! Thank you so much for the help, I'm so happy now. 

I didn't even think of that setting, I'm glad I learned!

I didn't think of it because it usually adds a chamfer that doesn't require support.  In this case it seems to have filled the entire pocket.
