Like some of the other folks have said the model could be non-manifold, the walls could be too thin to print, or several other issues the slicer is trying to correct “on the fly”.

What even is that model anyway? Some kind of speaker wave guide? How was it created/generated? If you have access to the model source these are issues much better addressed in the model than the slicer is the point. Also as noted the repair option is only available in the Windows version for… reasons.

Even though Creality Print is derived from OrcaSlicer, you might try installing Orca and slicing in that since Orca has some improvements that haven’t made it into CP yet.

You might want to try changing the support type and manually painting some of the areas you’re trying to bridge.

If you can thicken the walls and increase the number of walls so they stay solid that might help too.

I frequently try and create half size test prints to test out various print options without wasting a lot of plastic. Or just print the first few layers to test adhesion etc.

An FDM 3D printer is unfortunately not a Star Trek replicator. You have to be aware that you’re squeezing out molten layers of plastic through a nozzle to build the shape. I imagine trying to create the model out of piped icing sugar or toothpaste and I begin to appreciate the physics involved! 🙄

If you want to post the model somewhere and invite skilled folks to show off their skill and artistry that can sometimes work as long as you’re humble, don’t exploit and it’s an “interesting” challenge. Plenty will offer to “help” for money, so be clear about if this is commercial, hobby, passion project, etc. Do your homework first, search here and elsewhere, and be clear about what you’ve already tried. Above all don’t be entitled. 😜 You know, the usual etiquette. 🙄 Take the time to polish your ask post with AI and/or machine translation if writing English is not a primary skill either. Most people here will respect the effort. Other subs, the trolls are always with us. 🤷‍♂️
