With this particular model, Prusaslicer is very optimistic about bridging and support generation:

  1. the right side (dark blue) has no support that could help with load-bearing
  2. the entire layer will be connected to those two lines
  3. more than 5cm long bridges

I don’t think this gcode will successfully print.

How do fix adjust the cura setting to generate a printable output?

Why are you printing this? Surface finish is super important to airflow in a design like this. Printing an overhang layer is not functionally adequate.

Mockup. Will be a few weeks before the real fan is delivered.

I would put the model in CAD and make it solid using a couple of booleans. FreeCAD can convert a mesh to a solid in the Part workbench.
