Spiral vase mode starting point?

I would like to print with the spiral vase mode an canopy for a rc airplane. Please have a look at the picture:


Unfortunatey, there will be a line (like a kind of seam) visible, which is located at the starting point of each layer. The position is the same x- and y- coordinate for all layers. How to avoid this?

Thank you very much

What seam options do you have ?

…tried each seam option from bambu studio, but this seem to have no influence.
In the preview, there is no seam visible, but if you use the horizontal slider for the nozzle movement within the selected layer the start and end is located where the line occurs at the printed object.
Different story if the object’s first layer is longer than the remaining layers, than it’s working fine, as the start/end of the first layer is “outside” of the other layers as the object is getting smaller…

Is there any way to set up this some how?
I came from cura before my H2D, there is a possibility to set coordinates (x and y) to influence this (parameters for “z seam alignment”)

best regards

What or where is that ? i dont have much experience with spiral vase mode

Thank you, this dialog is shown if there is any option checked that cannot be used in combination with spiral vase mode.
I activated the spiral vase mode of course, but the generated tool path is not quite good for my purpose. In cura I knew what to do, but I need to slice with the bambu studio…
Maybe the spiral vase mode is not the best choice, but in normal mode the tool path starts in some layers at the left side, some layers at the right but thin objects need to be printed in a sequence similar to:

  1. print complete length of layer (e.g. from left to right)
  2. nozzle up and at the same moment move X and Y to starting point on the same side (so only very small movement in X and Y)
  3. like 1 but in opposite direction

How could this be set up in bambu studio? I did not find any setting that produces this, thats why I thought spiral vase is the solution, but as its producing this line, it is not…

Thanks and best regards
