Vase mode seam

Hey,

is it even possible to print a vase in S3D without a seam on the vase surface?

Never able to print at least one vase without it in S3D. Had to use Slic3r for the vases, and I am not happy with that at all.

PS: model orientation and scale were updated.

Re: Vase mode seam

I found, that the Slic3r have the same seam on the models. But the Cura is not. In the Cura you have option to fix it:

Re: Vase mode seam

Re: Vase mode seam

Please humour me......and try using the attached stl file and compare with the existing one. You may need to scale by a factor of 100 to get it the same size as the original!

Thats no Problem. Sliced with S3D v4 and your "magic". Still the same. It is the same problem I already mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7730&start=20#p33416
But nobody wanted to believe me :cry:

On the strength of that comment......which I find insulting and WRONG.....I'll withdraw from this discussion as my input is not appreciated.

Re: Vase mode seam

Sorry, my fault, I fixed model orientation and scale.

I did many tests with different models, and this bug is visible on most of them.
Here are more examples:

It is possible to make layer height very small and then the seam is almost not noticible. But if you need to print vase without the seam at all - use Cura, while we have no solution for it in S3D.
