· Undesired "stringing" commands in the gcode
Well the answer is to turn off combing mode off. This should enable retractions even "inside" the part.
First note that your cad model specifies that the space between the box and hole should be solid. So you might want to change the cad model instead.
So the reason you get this string on each layer is because cura doesn't retract. It's trying to save time since normally people don't mind if there is a little stringing inside their part where no one can see anyway. When retractions are turned off the nozzle keeps extruding.
There are 2 kinds of "non printing" moves: retraction and non-retracting. They are different shades of blue in the layer view. Make sure you see the moves change color in layer view to be sure that disabling combing will do what you want. No need to actually waste another print if I'm wrong about combing.
