The model seems to be too thin in the area where there's a hole.
There are a couple of things that can be done about this:
Enable the "Print Thin Walls" setting. This will let the printer use thinner lines to print very thin parts, although they might become wider than the model intends them to be.
Reduce the line width. If you're printing something that has thin walls or webbings, make sure that the line width is slightly smaller than the minimum width of that part. However reducing the line width too much may cause underextrusion due to insufficient flow. To be able to reduce the line width further, you'll need to use a smaller nozzle.
Add some horizontal expansion to the print. This makes the entire model wider on all sides, including the thin parts. They become less thin that way, so that they may now be printed. This does of course also ruin any dimensional accuracy and detail of the print since everything becomes thicker.
Consider adjusting the model to the print, by making every piece at least as thick as your line width.
For the record, "rendering" normally refers to showing something on screen. The issue here is not showing the preview on screen, but "slicing" your model (creating a toolpath from your 3d model with your selected settings).

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.

Thank you, print thin walls seems to have done the trick with rendering, will share print results once its done 🙂
