Vase mode problem with bottom solid layer

Hi, I want to print some vase with a x bottom base but the gcode that I obtain has so much retraction because the slicer try to fill the hole between each layer.
Seems that the only way I can get a proper vase print is to set the Bottom Solid Layer at 0.
This is the screenshot that represent the problem:

Any tips?

Re: Vase mode problem with bottom solid layer

If you go to the Advanced tab and turn on "Merge all outlines into a single solid model" does that help?

If you have the Wipe option enabled, turn it off. Wipe often causes strange issues with Vase Mode.

I'd suggest turning your layer height down to .13 mm. That seemed to remove all unwanted travel and retraction moves.
