A few hours spent tonight.
Added loads of bits in 3DBuilder to add/cut, save as a .3mf file, import into Netfabb to do the adding/cutting, export as .3mf
...file was hUUUUUUUUUUge and Prusaprint couldn't open it
...google how to reduce mesh file size
...Blender 'decimate' to the rescue, tried reducing in 10% steps and got down to 10% of the original file size and Prusaprint likes this much better.
First pic is bits & bobs added in 3DBuilder
Second pic is in the slicer
N.B. don't do your chopping & changing in 3DBuilder because it will very quickly lose quality. If it takes more than 20 seconds to do the cutting and re-rendering hit the abort button.
TBH, I could probably have drawn it from scratch quicker
