· Cura is cutting out sections from my model.
Yeah this model is a mess. It should be pretty easy to fix. Did you crate the model? Was it blender or sketchup? If so there are guides for making manifold objects. Google "how do I make my blender (or put sketchup) model manifold?".
Also there is a tool in the cura marketplace called "mesh tools". This will help show you the issues with your model.
You have to model the thickness of all walls. You can't just make them infinitely thin and you can't have arbitrary surfaces inside a solid portion of your print. It confuses cura -- what is that internal vertical surface in the middle of the model? It's infinitely thin so get rid of it?

Here's another view. Anything red is a problem. Sending a ray through from your eye all the way through the model - if it encounters an odd number of surfaces then that is a problem and it colors the model red. Even number of surfaces get different shades of blue (usually good).
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
