Today I learned that Cura, PrusaSlicer, and all the PrusaSlicer derivatives I have found ignore internal voids in STL and OBJ files when slicing for #3DPrinting. (I would like to know if I've just missed an option for honoring internal voids.)
PrusaSlicer and its derivatives do honor those internal voids in STEP files. Cura does not support STEP files.
I was going to publish STEP, STL, and OBJ files for my next project, but I might give up on STL and OBJ and only publish STEP, because it is designed with intentional voids with internal features.
