This is X-Ray view in Cura. You can see that there is a problem surface within the model.
I didn't notice anything odd when I sliced it though. I was able to repair the model with MS 3D Builder.
Is it supposed to look like this? I think the "dividing the first layer" may be because that outboard part is so thin. It's only a couple of layers thick and then the wall starts. I think Cura is preparing for the wall support.

I tried disabling support as it could have been a support artifact for that wall that starts 2 layers later.
But since the model is a solid (100% infill) there is no need for support there.
But that did not do the trick 😞
I have added some extra stiffners that also should be solid. Also those get visible on the first layer.
Please see a section view.
and this is the first layer in cura
this leads to less efficient print times and increases the failure rate of the first and subsequent layers.
Layer 1 and 2 ( the first 0.9mm) should be homogeneous. So the print head never should have to stop and make sharp corners or anything.
Layer 3 should have these shapes on it visible now on layer 1 and 2.
I can force cura to not print these shapes the first few layers by increasing the distance between the bottom of the model and the lowest top layer. But that makes the solid too high in the lower parts.
