No supports possible

Before this: I already cut the objekt in order to print it. 

But I was a little bit confused. because no matter on which side I placed the box cover, I did not get supports.
Also the manually placed/forced amplifiers did not have any effect. Why are there no supports placed whithin the object?

Only placing it upright gives me the supports I would need but a print duration of 1 day. 🙁

RE: No supports possible

Not totally sure I understand your problem but just a guess try selecting Print settings/support materials/Don't support bridges. Perhaps you could zip your .3MF file and post it here (you can't post raw .3MF files in this forum).

We would need to see all of your settings as the stl by itself is not a lot of use.  Basically add it to slicer as normal and confirm you have your problem.  Then select File>Save As to save your project file.  This will save the .3mf file that Towlerg mentioned.  The 3mf file contains the model, all your settings as well any modifiers , placements etc you may have in use.  It allows us to exactly duplicate your setup which is what is needed to debug issues properly.

Take the 3mf and zip it up like you did with the stl and post here and we can take a look for you.

If I use defaults for my printer and place your part on the bed either way up it's 20+ hrs. Pretty sure the solution to the problem you describe is to tun off Don't support bridges.

I would suggest you think about which faces you want to be fair. You may or may not be aware that the two good faces will be the one touching the bed and the top surface. The surface that is built on support isn't great and sometimes very raggedy.

I see there is a step the bottom (for clarity lets call the face with the four circular features the top), does that have another part that drops into it? If so the easiest thing is to print both parts joined together then rather than have all that support just use sparse infill, maybe with a layer modifier.

I may not have explained that very well, so please do get back if you'd like further info.
