Problems with MakerWare Slicing: Lack of internal supports. Solutions/alt software?

In S3D i can solve it by defining 3 processes. The first one is 10% infill and stops at height 3.0mm. The second one has the same settings but an infill of 50% and starts at 3.0mm and stops at 3.2mm (I have 0.2mm layer height here). The last one starts at 3.2mm height with 10% infill again. Process 1 needs 0 top layers, process 2 0 top and bottom layers and process 3 zero bottom layers. This gives a good support of the bottom layers of the recessed panels.

Alibert, you're the man! Thank you so much for posting these solutions. Overall, it looks very solid and will work well. I think you just sold me on upgrading to S3D.

Thanks again man. Hopefully anyone else that encounters a similar issue to this will see this as well.
