I have been using cura for many years now and just keep running into this issue for curvey models.
Image 1 it shows where the z seam aligns.
Image 2 is the model.
Image 3 is what would be ideal for the z seam.
Is there a way to force cura to follow this path, I have been playing around with many of the settings cura has to offer but none of them are really doing what i need it to do. I have tried forcing the model it self to have a sharp square like corner, but due to the curvature of the model cura detects random curve like area's as sharp corners which I totally understand why that would happen. But is there a way to add a new method of z seam alignment where you can specficy the inital starting point of the seam and cura follows the closest surface/point to create something similar to Image 3? Would love to hear if anyone has a solution for this or is something possible for the future.
