I'm having issues where Cura keeps filling in the divots I have in my model. In the picture below you can see what it is supposed to look like.

But for some reason it keeps slicing over the divots.

I have checked and I don't have "Remove All Holes" enabled. If anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!

    The red edges on the walls indicate that there are errors in the model.  (Looks like the normals are flipped upside down).

    If you repair the model it will slice as expected.  Right now the errors are confusing the Cura slicing engine as it can't tell the inside from the outside.

     

    I have no idea what size it should be but I repaired it in MS 3D Builder.  Make sure you have "Remove All Holes" disabled as well.

    You were right on the money. I recalculated my normals in Blender and now it slices perfectly! Thank you!
