Thank you so much for your prompt answer!! Really helpful! I will try all the suggested solutions!

I am new to CURA and 3D printting, and there's a problem I encountered while I attempted to slice my form. I created this solid form in Sketch up and transported as a STL to CURA. As you see in one of the two uploaded photos, the imported form is a terrain model, which is transformed in Sketch Up into stacked layers of solids (through Sketch- Up's Plug -In "Slicer"). It appears first all normal when just imported into Cura, however, once it is sliced in Cura, the upper layers have all become hollow lines, rather than solid, filled entities. When I print this sliced data out on my 3D Printer(with clay as material), the result is also a mess, with only the bottom three layers orderly printed and filled, but the upper layers turn our to be merely a bunch of messy lines. What could be a possible cause of such a phenomenon?? Is it a problem with my original model file, or the setting in Cura? Thank you so much for your advice!😘
