Below is what I want to print.

Below is what Cura is slicing. I don't want a bottom FIRST layer. I do want subsequent bottom layers printed but Cura won't do it.

Works great except I don't want the initial first yellow layer (red X). Other top/bottom layers I want (green Check).

Also below bottom view shows where I don't want yellow layer and where I do want it (green).

    If I understand correctly you want only the walls printed (no skin) on Layer 1 but starting with Layer2 you want everything to print - but the model wasn't designed with that "pocket" on the bottom?  How would you support that first layer of skin of Layer 2?  It's going to sag to the build surface as your model appears to be 60mm wide.  I don't think you can bridge that but you can enable the bridging settings and make a test.

     

    I'll continue as if that was correct.

    Add a support blocker.  Make it larger than your model in the X,Y and then Z = "Initial Layer Height" thick.  Set it right on the build plate (Z=0).

    In Per Model settings select "modify overlaps" and Cutting Mesh.  Select the settings as shown below.  My model was sliced with those settings so the first layer is 3 walls only and the next layer has everything.

      • 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.
