Vertical lines in printed cylinder

Posted in Vertical lines in printed cylinder

I printed a cylinder with a 2 mm wall using a 0.4 mm nozzle and temperature 230 °C with RepRapper transparent PLA. For some reason it has evenly-spaced vertical lines running through it which I don't really want it to have.

The model was made using 123D Design which were saved as STL files an opened in Cura. I have no idea what I'm doing.

The 123D Design and STL files are available here in my Dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/27c1eu857l9vvcp/Test%20diffusion%20tube%2C%2038%20mm%2C%202%20mm%2C%20bottom.stl?dl=0

The GCODE file is on someone elses computer which I don't have access to.

Thanks for any advice or insight.

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
