Ok, so, it looks like you will have to use a seperate program to cut your pieces to fit on your printer, as cura doesn't support cutting parts. You could use a program such as Meshmixer or Blender which are both free to do this.

Luban is a program designed specifically for cutting large parts and providing alignment/connection pins.
Slicers such as OrcaSlicer have cutting built in.
Blender will let you cut in better and more complex paths that follow geometry lines rather than simple planar cuts.
Or... a print farm such as my own Starbase3d.etsy.com with big printers could print your large pieces whole and seamless so they retain their strength and eliminate your seaming work.

will definitely check these out thank you, i’m strapped for cash other wise i would just order the parts, but this is giving me a chance to learn my printer and other programs as well.
