    The issue is with the model, it is very broken. That is causing issues with Cura when you are trying to slice it.

    Any way of showing me, it looks fine in the design program

    Cura should be telling you this.

    That blue and green section is basically unknown geometry.
    This will be a problem in how the model was designed.. or how it was exported to STL.

    I don't use sketchup so not sure how to help there

    Morning 

    ok I sliced the model in half with a square plane, so that surface has to be flat, in cura it looks exactly the same , how can that be?

    hi this is the latest one, if you click on the top or bottom surface all is selected

    I get this in 5.2.1.  I'd say the bottom is flat as the skirt stays outboard now.  The sphere is gone though.

    I took the sphere out

    strange it’s ok on ideamaker and not cura

    can any one slice it with another slicer to see if it’s only cura

    PrusaSlicer  Looks to be near identical to the Cura slice I posted above.

    Post a new screenshot of the slice in Cura and what looks wrong to you.  I thought it looked good.

    Here is your "Phone stand bowling 23.stl" in Mesh Mixer.  You can see what @Dustin is talking about.  It's that one piece.

    This is a view from the other side with the Mesh Mixer Inspector turned on.

    Here is the #23 model repaired by MS 3D Builder and sliced in Cura 5.2.1.  This looks good but the build plate side of the bowling ball won't come out very well.

    Here is a project file with that early model.  I didn't pay a lot of attention to the settings other than I did adjust the Line Width to .45.

    Check out the file without the sphere, does it change

    im using a 0.6 nozzle with a line width of 0.8

    0.6 nozzle at 0.8 Line Width and .3 Layer Height.  I thought it looked better at .7 Line Width.

    Still the same, I tried to install mesh mixer but it never recognized my password , the same as fusion

    Here is a project file. My E3 Pro is the active printer.  It's the model without the bowling ball, .6 nozzle, .8 line width.

    This is a Cura project file.  If you open it in IdeaMaker you will just get the model.

    Here is an IdeaMaker project.  Remove the ".3mf" extension to open it in IdeaMaker.

    When the skirt cuts though the model like that then there is a gap between the model and the build plate.  Stiction will be a problem for the head.

    Try setting the "Z" to -0.1mm or -0.2mm.

    The rotation tool has a "lay flat" tool for models that are slightly tilted.  Ms 3D Builder has an equivalent "Settle" tool.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
