With Cura set up to slice that model - use the "File | Save Project" command and post the 3mf file here.
It looks like it was all good until it gets above the thick portion to the single wall. Remember that there are no circles, just a bunch of line segments that imitate a circle. A consequence is that depending on where the triangles are in the STL file the wall width can vary because it isn't truly concentric. That could be causing the starts and stops.
A couple of settings that you can adjust and see if they help are the Line Width and the Mesh Fixes "Maximum Resolution". A higher resolution can remove some of the really short line segments that might be creating the problem. A narrower line width (like .35 instead of .4) can eliminate the slicing problems that can occur when the wall thickness falls below the Line Width.

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
