So I thought I would just save as stl file and but I cannot ungroup the objects in Cura.
An STL file does not support multiple "bodies". In the STL file, your objects become one combined mesh, even if not all parts of that mesh are connected. They are not so much grouped, they are one mesh. That is why you cannot ungroup.
The Mesh Tools plugin, available from the Marketplace, adds a function to split such meshes that consist of multiple "non-connected parts".
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.

Saving as a 3mf is always superior. As for the rest, download the meshtools plugin.
