· feature suggestion: horizontal skin print in uniform direction within a layer (ex lines print perpendicular from 0,0 to X,X, never X,X to 0,0)
So instead of doing what you suggest, another solution is to print a ring - a shell-like ring under the wall (for the wall a layer or two higher up).
This feature was created by someone who doesn't work at Ultimaker: @burtoogle.
I'm pretty sure this feature got merged into the latest Cura but it's almost certainly turned off by default (Ultimaker doesn't like to mess with profiles on a whim because some changes might help wedding cakes but hurt other 3d prints so it's a big deal to change a profile so it's rarely done - plus customers may get really pissed off when profiles are changed that make their personal print "worse").
Look for something like "skin under walls", "skin below", or something like that? I don't have the latest cura.
On the custom cura that I use which was created by @burtoogle it is called "skin edge support". That's probably what it is called in the latest cura. Or something quite similar.
While you seem to care a lot about top flat surface quality, look at the "ironing" feature as well and look at posts by neotko who invented the idea and has suggested settings.
