I would like to know if there is a way that I can set cura to recognise an internal negative shape? Ideally printing completely solid and not printing the cut out tubed spiral within the walls?

Hi @wez,
most probably there's something wrong with the model. It is either not a solid body or it's a "non-manifold" mesh.
One example: The protruding pipes seem to have no thickness at all? And there may be intersecting surfaces and such things...
How was it modeled?
