Okay so in sketchup - sketchup lets you create non-solids. And in the STL file sketchup is telling cura which sides of the surfaces face air and which side faces plastic. You want to see *only* what faces. But in the image below where I zoomed in on one of your images - you can see the inside of that cylinder is blueish gray? Right click on that and select "reverse faces" and it will turn white indicating that the visible side of that cylinder is facing air.
Look for other surfaces like that. That's the only one in my tiny clip but I see the inside base is blue in one box and the taller box with the two vertical holes has the center (of 3 faces) as blue. Fix all of those. Here are more hints - it looks like a lot to read but it's pretty straight forward and quick reading and very informative:
Also go to "preview" mode (top center) and on the left switch from "layer view" to "xray view" and if you see any red in xray view you either have an extra interior surface or a missing surface. This is discussed also in the link above.

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.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
