How to fix or move this line on the Top surface of a print

How do I get rid of this line on the top surface? I’ve tried different Top Surface Pattern like Aligned Rectilinear, Rectilinear, Monotonic Line. Stepping through the print slider on the bottom of Bambuslicer I can’t see anything that is causing these. Suggestions please. Thank you

It’s possibly when the nozle cross your print at the end.

My first thought is that you should increase the number of top layers and see if that makes a difference. The default .4 nozzle standard settings have only one wall on top surfaces enabled and that allowed the infill to cause a very rough top surface for my print with a flat top.

I can still see some lines but less visible. Did you try monotonic (and not monotonic line) as a top pattern ? Monotonic line will NOT apply a monotonic pattern on all the top layers but only the topmost one (unless you’re using OrcaSlicer). The below layers on a part with a shape like yours could cause the “bump” formed by the slight filament overlap to remain visible on the top layer.

Everything else was pretty much the default setting in Bambuslicer. So yes the top surface is Monotonic Line, I will do another test with that change also - I am also trying Top Shell layers to 6 and thickness 1.2/
Thank you.

@fabien Thank you, You suggestion to use Monotonic and not Monotonic Line made a big improvement also.
It cleaned up the lines as shown in the photo.
