Check the Z of the part in the Move tool. It should be "0".
Sometimes the part is sitting at a slight angle and although it looks to be flush on the plate, it isn't. The Rotation tool has a "Lay Flat" option that can help.
Sometimes the bottom of a model simply isn't flat. The low point holds the rest of the model in the air and Cura notices and only puts a raft/skirt/brim around that touching point. In that case lowering the model into the build plate by some small distance can eliminate the problem.
On such a simple model this isn't usually a problem - but if the model has reversed surfaces or open seams (not Water-Tight) then things can get odd as Cura sees one thing, you see it another way, and you're both wrong because areas of the model are inside-out.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
