I had printed this model with an earlier version of Cura, about 5 months ago. I did not notice the issue then, it printed fine. Well, not quite. It was weak near the upper bulge, so I was going to print a new one using a 0.40 mm nozzle, pretending to be 0.50 mm to make a thicker spiral. That is when I saw the issue. I had started the print before I noticed the issue in Cura realizing it was not going to complete correctly.
No explanation as to why but
Switch 'surface mode' to surface and turn off 'smooth spiralized contours' seems to work.
Cant seem to get a bottom layer to it tho.
confirmed those settings,
note: surface has no top or bottom.
it seems that spiral just not working right
going to fake it, for now.
surface both
wall count 1
infill 0
top 0
bottom 4
nozzle set as 0.50 with a 0.40mm physical for thicker lines
tried.. failed
- nope too shallow of an angle.. will
too steep around 27 mm
Edited by pdwpackrattried the settings for a print
- 5 months later...

Try using the "per model setting" feature.
- add a support block on the bottom layer, size it greater than your bottom layer dimension (z height should equal bottom layer height). Make sure the block begins at z=0mm
- Click on the support block again (make sure it highlighted) and select "per model settings" on the left tab. And change the Mesh Type to "modify settings for overlaps".
- Select Settings: Surface Mode - change this back to "on" or "normal" depending which CURA version you have.
- I found that the support block mesh type switched back to "normal mode" which was weird. SO make sure you switch it back to "modify settings for overlaps".
- the regular model should be as mentioned with "surface mode" turned OFF & "smooth spiralized contours" OFF
- Slice!
This worked for me, it fixed my strange gap and also the bottom layer issue! :)

It's not just the spiralize mode that's unhappy with that model. You can still see problems with spiralize disabled. For some reason, Cura is unhappy with that model. Sorry, I don't know what the problem is.
