[ALREADY ADDED] Smooth Z Ramping

Is there any way to implement smooth Z ramping instead of just a vertical jump that leaves a seam? With a ramp speed and distance option that can be set in the software? I'd find that very useful.

Check out the corkscrew printing mode (vase mode) on the Layer tab.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot on this model. I tried it once with a different model and the infill was all messed up.

that mode will not use infill at all, it only prints solid layers and walls, infill is zero
