Printer printed the object incorrectly - why?

I created a .stl file that has a whole in the middle and looks like this:

The 3D object doesn't have the hole. See:

.stl file - load in Cura and look at the hole yourself.

Why doesn't the hole get left out during 3D printing?

There is no hole !

And your stl has 2500 errors. Try to repair it (for example https://service.netfabb.com/login.php )

Cura is clearly showing me a hole. See my 1st screenshot. 🙂

I have used SketchUp to create my 3D object and exported it as a .stl file. Is there a better way to do it?

Check your stl, It has a lot of error. So some slicer try to repair it and maybe it close the hole.

And your model consists of 6 shells. Try to make it watertight.

Look here :

I'm not really able to repair the file. It has too many erros. Tryed it with netfabb and meshmixer.
