I looked at your project. As @Slashee_the_Cow predicted, you have the Mesh Fixes > Remove All Holes turned on. This removes all (vertical) holes.
Hi! I appreciate the reply, but appears to be turned off for me unless I've been a total idiot haha.

This is showing the setting visibility
A setting that is not visible still has a value. Make the setting visible in the Print Settings ("sidebar"), and then change its value there.
Oh I've been a dunce! I appreciate everyone's help, thank you all so much!

Welcome to the club, we've all been dunces before.

I'm actually a gold level member. And about 1/3rd of the way to Diamond. Once a dunce, still sometimes a dunce.

I was awarded this so many times that my teachers had it bronzed and gave it to me as a graduation present.
@GregValiant What dunce made that? It's solid, you can't even wear it.

Yes. But if know someone that has a 3D printer, and if they have access to a piece of slicing software (like maybe Smart Avionics 4.20.26) they will know to use a setting called "Spiralize Outer Contour" and set to zero bottom layers, and make it into a light-weight hat that will fit my head.
If you asked them nicely, they could do an operation called "scaling" and adapt the size to fit any head.

Would probably be one of the weakest hats I've ever seen, possibly even worse than the paper crown things that come in Christmas crackers (bon-bons in some parts of the world, I don't know) - at least they're not brittle. Or too flexible to stand up under their own weight and start delaminating if they were printed with TPU.
Also I don't think whoever gave themselves the power to issue duncedums really thought enough about the design. The letters need to be extruded further, they're almost impossible to see (and probably would be in a darker colour). And the font, while it's good that they went with something sans-serif, still gives the dunce too much credit. A script font (but nothing crazy like Comic Sans) would probably be more appropriate:
Also they really need to fillet the top of that thing. You don't want your dunce getting any ideas and poking someone's eyes out.

Only a real Dunce would put more effort into it.
BTW, St. Paula the Patient did something yesterday (which I won't go into) that provided an excellent reason for me to make her wear it. It does want to come off so I gotta make a chin strap. After that, I'm done.

Make sure Mesh Fixes > Remove All Holes is turned off (if you can't see it, just search the quality settings).
If it is, then if you could share a Cura project file (.3mf, get it set up then go to File > Save Project) with a model with a hole in it that gets filled in we can have a look at it. I ask for a project file instead of just a model because the project file contains your printer and quality settings.
