That is because I've fixed the problem in the project. I've awarded the right answer for the effort.

I'm not an expert at this and maybe someone else will have better insights, but it seems that you did not build it as a solid piece.

I'm also no expert but you can use Meshmixer to make it a solid or import it into Blender and apply a solidify modifier to the mesh.

Is that a set in Cura that could fix this?

Unrelated - consider that your plastic might not be food-safe.

It is standard PLA. How do I find this out?

@user3347814 "Another major concern about PLA being food safe is the tiny holes and cracks that are usually created during 3D printing. These holes and cracks can provide a place for the harmful germs and ground for bacteria to grow and can be quite dangerous in the future."

# How do I fix infill support in Cura?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-10-04)

I am making this [dog feeder](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/97c0bff4438703fb46eab336/w/f9d9fd6b8648b1738356fc17/e/875b5b62d7deed4076b9d8c3?renderMode=0&uiState=615b591d20bf03323f3e1f55).

My goal is to 3D print it using an Ender 3 V2. I am using Cura to slice it.

When I slice it, though, Cura does not see the Top part (Dispenser box) as a solid piece. And when I am slicing it, it does not create an infill for the ramp. I have tried using the infill support option and setting the infill overhang angle to 0, but it still does not create infill support on the ramp. Here are some prints:

[![Notice that there is no infill under the ramp#1](https://i.sstatic.net/pDApW.jpg "Notice that there is no infill under the ramp#1")](https://i.sstatic.net/pDApW.jpg "Notice that there is no infill under the ramp#1")

[![Notice that there is no infill under the ramp#2](https://i.sstatic.net/74iEy.jpg "Notice that there is no infill under the ramp#2")](https://i.sstatic.net/74iEy.jpg "Notice that there is no infill under the ramp#2")

Notice that there is no infill under the ramp.

How do I make Cura understand that this is a solid piece?

I've followed the link in the question and exported the dispenser box and sliced it in Ultimaker Cura 4.12.1 and it will slice just fine.

*From a comment on the answer from the OP I've learned later that the model has been fixed. So the issue was related to the model/STL file, not an issue with Cura.*
