Trouble exporting to .STL files

When attempting to export 3d model entities to an .stl file, using the export command i’m have trouble with the select not picking up all the entities circled. When I open the stl file in my 3d printer program the object is incomplete, lacking some elements. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Are these solid models or surface? Surface models may have holes in them caused by individual surfaces facing the wrong way (backwards). This means that that they are invisible so the conversion ignores them. Cad and slicing software often does not show this up. You can download Nettfab freeware to perform repairs to models before importing into slicing ware. Can you post some screenshots of the problem?
    If there are whole components/items missing from the conversion you may have to raise a support request.
    Good luck
