The problem is in your model:

(enhanced contrast to show the different shading of different faces)

 

The file is also technically invalid, but not bad enough to prevent it from being loaded. That may be the cause of the wavy lines though (as that face is defined as a bunch of columns rather than the simplicity of just using two triangles).

 

What program did you use to create it? SketchUp is sort of considered a running joke about how terrible the files it exports are and Blender (or other mesh-based modelling programs) don't always get it quite right, because it's not what they're designed for. Ideally for structures made of basic shapes like this you would use a CAD program.

    Thanks a lot! i got it of thingiverse, when i loaded it up in cura and solidworks i didnt notice the model being weird. Since i am comparing different extrusion widths and support settings, these lines didnt appear on the wider  extrusion widths, so i though it would be a slicer thing.

      • 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.
