Z-seam alignment randomness problem?

I've set the Z-seam alignment to random, but it often prints from the same corner over several layers.
I would like to make sure that adjacent layers do not print from the same corner.

Thank you.

    I don't know why it happens, but it can happen, maybe it is a bug, I don't know.

    But I suggest do use the User specified setting and set the position to a place where it doesn't matter. I use this settings for most of my prints and get good results.

     

    If you want to report the behaviour (maybe a bug) about the random alignment, I would ask you to open a bug report on Guthub.

    Thanks!

    Random can give repeats.  It’s probably just because that’s the way random numbers work.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
