the problem starts at the second layer. its suppose to make dense infill but starts making weird stuff, see pic.

Looks like you may have some overlapping or non-watertight geometry. Use the mesh diagnostics in the Repair tab, or Meshmixer is also good at finding and fixing mesh problems

A simple fix I think....use the "Separate Connected Surfaces" option on the Mesh dropdown.
