@Blue_Morpho I usually make decals 3 layers thick. That puts some color behind the surface color, and it helps. With a layer height of 0.2, I'd extrude the decal into the object 0.6mm deep.

@Blue_Morpho (Can I reply to Lemmy from Mastodon?)
It looks like the decal is only one layer thick in the model. Try making it several layers thick. Also, if you aren't already, subtract the decal from the main body. (In Fusion, that's Combine:Cut.)
@ExtremeDullard Here's my problem. On the caps, "North" has red before white. "South" has white before blue. I didn't know.
@ExtremeDullard I found the answer this morning because I ran into the same problem this morning. IF using PrusaSlicer, print the white first by putting it on a lower-numbered extruder.

@Blue_Morpho I don't use Orca; I use PrusaSlicer. I haven't really compared the two ways to decal, no. I haven't had problems with bad slicing.
You can also try exporting a .STEP file from Fusion. .STEP retains even more information about your intent than .3mf.
.stl: just triangle meshes
.3mf: triangles + assembly
.STEP: BREP (solids, faces, edges, etc.)
