It's going to have the easiest time trying to print thin text if it's on the top surface, but reorienting your entire model isn't always a feasible solution. You could try using a smaller nozzle and/or a thinner line width, but then overhangs (like if your text is going to be on the side) can't go out as far (although if you don't want it to go out far, no big loss).

If they were the same, then why would we need to have both?
Here's a good article from the Settings Guide plugin on the subject of missing parts: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/troubleshooting/missing_parts.md
Either the details are too small to print with your current configuration, or your model is faulty ("non-manifold"). From just the screenshots, it is hard to see which of these two options is the problem here.

haha title wording could prob have been better sure, just didn't know how to describe it.
But you're answer was correct, it seems the details are too small so Cura is just cutting them out, not something I've seen before in my 4 years of using Cura.
Thanks v.much!

In the print settings you can turn on Walls > Print Thin Walls and Cura will try its darndest to print as similar to the model as it can, although I'm not sure if it would work on thin text placed on a vertical surface.

Thanks a lot for this tip, for now I've just increased the size of the text and repositioned it so it still fits on the piece.
I may experiment with this in future as its likely I might want to add more text later.
