Micro Velocity Fuselage Front Exceeds Max Z

My bad for not paying more attention but didn't expect a micro design would include components that exceed the max Z of my Prusa i3 MK3S+. (Fuselage is 219 mm high - Max Z is 210mm.) Wondering what others have done in this or similar situations. I have MeshMixer and could split the STL; the question is where would be best? Any and all suggestions are most welcome.

Hi Jeff, if your able to split the STL then I would just take 20mm off the front. That won't have any structural issues at all.

Is it just the Fuselage Front piece that is too big? If you have any trouble with it just let me know. I am always happy to help people split the STL'S to fit their printers.

Thanks, Jon. In the end it was easier to use PrusaSlicer to split it at the suggested mark than to fiddle with MeshMixer. The front seems to be the only piece that's too large. Loading up LW-PLA now and will print one of the smaller parts to make sure my settings are dialed in. Have printed other single wall designs with the stuff and don't anticipate too many issues but one never knows. Thanks again for the quick response.
