    Without seeing the model it is hard to tell for sure, but chances are the model is "non-manifold", which confuses Cura. Basically Cura looses track of what is "inside" or "outside" the walls of the structure. I always thinks this is a good explanation:

    Your model would need to be "repaired". 3d Builder, which comes with Windows 10 and 11, often does a decent job at repairing meshes (but it too can get confused about what you actually meant the model to be like).

        (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.
