    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?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
