Cura is explicit on your model, it is broken. A valuable tool was the online Netfabb STL repair service, this now appears to be integrated in Fusion 360.

That's a model error - the bores have inverted faces.

Windows 10 3DBuilder wipes out the counterbores and turns the surface into a flat area, as does Meshmixer. The creator (you?) created a non-manifold object that resists repair.

Little help on this Cura slicing or model error?

both without success.

I've discovered via Meshmixer that there are duplicate cylinders for the counterbores. I selected "separate shells" which generated two sets of cylinders in the Objects Browser as well as the main body. Selecting each flawed entry in the browser left behind the main body, which is manifold and passes the Analysis/Inspector test sequence.

You can have the repaired file from my [Dropbox, public folder](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ys6jzpnfsjbbn3v/FacePlate%20V3r.stl?dl=0), or you can perform the process on your own. If you select the former, please let me know when it's retrieved, as I endeavor to keep my space in the free category on Dropbox.
