Hello, I hope someone could help me to solve this problem. I’m trying to print this model properly without having the things that I point with the red arrows on the picture. I need to print it upside down. I tried multiple combinations but nothing works. Find attached the 3mf file.

Does your design allow for the part to be split and printed separately, then glued together? The model has a pretty good part line (shown below) and this would allow it to printed without support.
Good idea, that might work. It requires more work but that could be a solution.
There is no way to do it in one piece?
Any shallow angles will always show vertical stepping as it prints each layer. There are some printers and slicers that do non-planar printing but I don’t think it has worked its way into main stream 3D printing.
The main ways around it are slicing the model like Jon suggested so the parts can be oriented to reduce or eliminate shallow angles or sometimes adaptive layer height can reduce the stepping by using smaller layer heights where needed.
Thanks @Don_Newman. I accepted the solution from @JonRaymond. I printed it out it came up pretty good.
