Sketchup and Maya seem to be the two CAD programs that have a lot of trouble making solids.
When you merged these parts it kept the inner walls (which shouldn't exist). The red means there is an odd number of walls passed through if you trace a line from your eye to the red areas and beyond. That should never happen. never. It means it's not a solid.
I don't know maya so I'm not sure how you fix this.
Did you try slicing it anyway to see what it looks like in preview mode?
You can experiment also with the "mesh repair" options in cura. Or you can repair this in netfabb (you have to create a free account to repair an STL file on netfabbs website but it works very well). I recommend you ask a Maya expert what you did wrong.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

Thank you, Putting it into Netfabb worked. You can also use an obj. (maya does not export in STL)
