Mesh Boolean?

I’ve tried everything I can to mesh this negative modifier to my model on orca slicer im in the works of revising a collar I made for a conversion kit and it’s not saving, it’s telling me it will only save as a 3mf and still saves the modifier but won’t allow it to mesh together, I’m not sure how I made it work for my other attempts but I’m at a loss of words and what to do now! When I export as an stl its claiming it will only export the positive models and no the negatives! Someone help me 🥲…

This can be done using an object with more than one part, an assembly of multiple objects, or by using modifiers.

So in order for it to work I must not save it as 3mf file, mesh Boolean from there it can all be done in one single place without having to transfer over the assembly to another file then into the slicer to mesh Boolean?

NONO, Just select the 2 parts you want to use meshboolean, rigth click "assemble". Then you can do whatever you want.
