Seam on cylindrical print

I am printing a sort of cylindrical print that is just 2 layers in thickness. There is a noticable seam where the printer turns in the opposite direction. Is there any way to make the printer Not turn at the seam. I know of the continuous option but this print is two strands in thickness.

Re: Seam on cylindrical print

I don't think this will eliminate the seam as it still has to start somewhere, but you can model it as solid and then print with no top, bottom, or infill with two perimeter layers. It will print both loops in the same direction. It might help a little.
