V5 drops a turd

Still feeling things out with V5. Too busy with production to risk running parts, but looking at a lot of existing V4 files to see how V5 handles them. This part is a constant wall-thickness cylinder at this point, and for some reason V5 is creating a little pocket in the middle for a short turd of single-extrusion fill. They are scattered around several models and at different layer heights.

This factory file was created in V4 and opened in V5.
If I delete the processes in V5 and then add the default process - set the basic parameters to match what I had, the turds to not appear when sliced. Will have to see if I can ID what's causing these. ... it's when I add the 0.01mm horizontal offset that the turds happen. That's part of my scaling/sizing procedure for dimensional accuracy.

I exported the FFF files out of V4 and imported them into V5 to see if that would make any difference if I added the processes in V5. The turds are still there.

Re: V5 drops a turd

I do hate these as well. The space is just a hair to small for 2 beads so the single line infill takes over. Thins I do is adjust is my extrusion width and manually set it . Adjust it up or down a hair +/- 0.01. The nature for the export to STL unfortunately takes what was mathematically perfect in a modeler then make an imperfect STL model unless everything is all squares and right angles. Cura puts these turds allover the place. I have tried to switch to Cura serval times and end up disappoint with the lack feature need to make good points. Not a big fan of hiding features the the endless scrolling up and down looking for a setting.

Re: V5 drops a turd

I export my models with a high level of detail, so STL errors should not be a significant factor. I've never seen these in 4.1.2
